    • Abstract 
    • Introduction (in the introduction, the purpose of the study, which question it seeks to answer, which research question or questions it is based on, and why this study is necessary should be clearly explained to the reader. In the conceptual or theoretical framework, especially the studies that are directly related to the subject and purpose of the study and why the study is important / meaningful in this sense, what gap it will fill, what additional contribution it can provide should be clearly explained.)
    • Method (the method section should include the basic approach used for the research and information about the sample, data collection method, tool, and analysis process.) 
    • Findings and Interpretation (data analysis or evaluations should be made regarding the results or findings reached in conceptual studies.)
    • Conclusion, Discussion and Recommendations (in this section, the finalized research findings should be discussed in relation to the conceptual / theoretical framework, similarities and differences and their reasons should be evaluated, and important issues that are thought to contribute or will contribute to the relevant literature should be included.)

  • Although the papers to be presented at the congress belong to the author, they must not have been presented or published elsewhere before.
  • All extended abstracts must be submitted in English.
  • Extended abstract subheadings must be as follows: Abstract and Keywords, Introduction (purpose of the study, conceptual theoretical framework) Method; Results and Interpretation; Conclusion, Discussion, and Recommendations.
  • Papers should be prepared as MS Word document in A4 (210X290 mm.) format, leaving 2.5 cm margins on each side of the page.
