AIM AND SCOPE
Journal of Innovative Research in Teacher Education (JIRTE) aims to present the compilation of up-to-date and innovative research papers, reviews, and argumentative essays on education in general and teacher education in particular. It is expected that the papers published in JIRTE will raise issues related to teacher education in various field areas; open up discussions related to those issues; suggest different methods of handling those issues or solving the related problems. It is also hoped that the studies published in JIRTE will provide the basis for timely discussions on the various areas of teacher education, and give direction to innovative research and practices. The paper accepted to JIRTE will be given DOI numbers and then published free of charge and with open access. JIRTE is an international peer-reviewed journal published three times a year in March, September, and December. In the reviewing processes, JIRTE uses the double-blind review method for all studies sent for publication. In this method the identities of the authors and reviewers are confidential. In order to ease this process, the authors are required to prepare and then check their manuscripts not disclosing any name or other identifying information. Authors can use MS Word’s ‘Document Reviewing’ feature for this purpose.

Literature analyses, meta-analyses, meta-synthesis studies, book reviews, and opinion papers can be sent to JIRTE for reviewing and publication.
