Editor's Message

It is my great pleasure to present the July 2026 Issue of The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology (TOJET). As educational technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, this issue reflects our journal's ongoing commitment to publishing innovative, interdisciplinary, and internationally relevant research that contributes to both theory and practice.

One of the defining characteristics of this issue is its remarkable international diversity. The articles published in this volume represent valuable scholarly contributions from researchers across different regions of the world, including Türkiye, Azerbaijan, China, Italy, Indonesia, and Thailand. This diversity demonstrates that educational technology has become a truly global field where researchers from different educational systems collaborate to address common challenges while offering unique cultural and contextual perspectives.

Artificial Intelligence continues to shape educational research and practice, and several papers in this issue explore its transformative role in teaching, learning, assessment, creativity, and learner support. Topics such as the use of artificial intelligence in philosophy education, intelligent educational management, generative AI as evaluative scaffolding, chatbots and AI assistants in foreign language learning, and the influence of deepfake awareness on media credibility illustrate the rapidly expanding intersection between AI and education.

In addition to AI-focused research, this issue presents significant studies on media literacy, learning taxonomies, contextual learning environments, computer modeling in physics education, classroom management in preschool education, and educational innovations that support student engagement and creative learning. Together, these contributions demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of educational technology and its capacity to improve educational quality across diverse learning environments.
