Aim & Scope

The Journal of Uludag University Faculty of Education is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal. Established in 1986, JUUFE was published in print until 1999, after which it was published both in print and electronically. It published one issue a year until 2004, and two issues a year from 2004-2019. As from 2020, JUUFE is published online only (e-ISSN 2667-6788) three times a year (April-August-December).

JUUFE is hosted by the DergiPark online journal platform and follows the editorial workflow management system provided. JUUFE adopts a double blind peer review policy. New submissions are first checked for technical issues and are then sent to the relevant field editor, who appoints two peer reviewers from the pool of field experts. The article evaluation process can take 2-4 months.

JUUFE envisions three major aims:
1. To disseminate knowledge that is based on robust theoretical principles and sound methodological frameworks.
2. To address significant educational issues on a national and international level.
3. To inform national and international educational policies.

1. considers for publication articles which encompass the themes of education, learning, teaching, school, student and teacher.
2. Gives priority to empirical research articles.
3. Gives priority to submissions that include advanced statistical procedures.
