Scope of the Division

The Education Studies Division of the Tunu Journal publishes original empirical studies, critical reviews and theoretical articles exploring contemporary educational structures. We welcome contributions that advance our understanding of learning methodologies, pedagogical scaffolding, cognitive technologies and educational administration across global communities.

1. Thematic & Disciplinary Areas

To qualify for the double-blind peer-review cycle, submitted manuscripts must align directly with one of our core research areas:

  • Pedagogy and Learning Paradigms: Research addressing instructional methodologies, metacognitive self-regulation, reflexive teaching practices and student engagement models.
  • Technology-Enhanced Learning: Investigations into the design and application of virtual classroom spaces, cognitive offloading mechanics in academic software and algorithmic personalization models.
  • Educational Policy and Administration: Comparative policy reviews, institutional management theories, resource distribution equity and regional curriculum standardization.
  • Special and Inclusive Education: Empirical studies on adaptive technologies, systemic barriers in higher education institutions and differentiated learning methodologies.

2. Manuscript Formatting Specifications

Authors must strictly prepare and structure their draft manuscripts in accordance with the following structural constraints:

  • Format: All files must be submitted as editable documents using Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). PDFs or lock-protected files will be rejected.
  • Typography: Use 12pt Times New Roman font exclusively. Set margins to 1 inch (2.54 cm) on all sides.
  • Line Spacing: The entire document must use double line spacing (2.0) or 1.5 line spacing, with page numbers aligned bottom-right.
  • Abstract: Every paper must include a structured abstract of 200 to 250 words outlining the study objectives, methodology, core findings and primary academic conclusions.
  • Word Limits: The final manuscript should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words, including titles, inline tables, footnotes and final reference sheets.

3. Citations and Referencing Standards

Absolute academic integrity is required. Unreferenced statements or poor citation designs will result in immediate desk rejection:

  • Style Guide: Authors must strictly adhere to the citation guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition.
  • DOIs: Where available, active digital object identifier (DOI) links must be appended to individual bibliographic references.
  • Footnotes: Avoid substantive footnotes. Relevant information should be integrated directly into the main narrative framework.
