Dear Participants,
In the light of the experiences and knowledge we have gained over the past five years, we are honored and proud to host the 6th International Educational Research Congress at our university. Our journey, which began five years ago in the esteemed district of Çeşme in our beloved İzmir, continued online in 2020, and in 2021 and 2022 at the first and main campus of our university. Last year, in 2023, we held the 5th International Congress in another beautiful district of the Aegean Region, Kuşadası. This year, we are eagerly looking forward to your participation once again in the same location, with the same enthusiasm and excitement that we left off with last year.
With the theme of this year’s congress as “The Changing World and Transdisciplinary Quests in Education”, our goal is to discuss the changes and developments that have occurred and continue to occur in the field of education within today’s evolving learning environments and global conditions. Considering these discussions, we aim to identify the steps that need to be taken and the relevant areas of need in the context of education and educational systems to adapt to the changing world. In this regard, I would like to emphasize the excitement we feel in listening to and benefiting from the research and projects conducted by the esteemed academics, teachers, researchers, undergraduate, and graduate students participating in our congress, and in evaluating the results of their shared studies in both national and international contexts. I hope that the 6th International Educational Research Congress will allow you to fully experience both the accumulated knowledge of the past five fruitful years and the excitement of 2024, marking the first year of the new century of Türkiye.
The secondary objectives of the 6th International Educational Research Congress include informing you about the activities and events organized by our university and faculty of education, providing you with an opportunity to meet our faculty members and undergraduate and graduate students, and sharing some of the local and international initiatives and projects of our university.
With the hope that this new congress will serve as a springboard for new beginnings, initiatives, and collaborations for all of us, I would like to express our pleasure in welcoming you among us and wish you productive and enjoyable work in advance. With my highest regards and greetings…
Prof. Dr. Bedriye TUNÇSİPER
Rector of Izmir Demokrasi University
