2. Article Structure

Title
The title must be concise, informative, and limited to a maximum of 15 words. It should be written in Calisto MT, 14 pt, bold, and centered.

Author Information
Author names, institutional affiliations, countries, and email addresses should appear below the title. For multi-authored manuscripts, one author must be designated as the corresponding author.

Abstract
The abstract must be written in English and should summarize the research background, objectives, methods, and key findings in a single paragraph of 150–250 words. It should be followed by 3–5 keywords.

Introduction
The Introduction should establish the research context and problem, synthesize relevant literature, identify the research gap, state the research objective or questions, and clarify the study's scholarly contribution.

Methods
Authors must clearly describe the research design, participants or data sources, research instruments or materials, procedures, relevant variables or analytical categories, and data analysis techniques. The description should be sufficiently detailed to allow the methodological rigor of the study to be evaluated.

Results
The Results section should report the empirical findings objectively and systematically. Tables, figures, mathematical representations, or other forms of evidence should be included where appropriate and must directly support the reported findings.

Discussion
The Discussion should interpret the findings in relation to relevant theoretical frameworks and previous studies. Authors should explain the significance of the findings, their implications for mathematics education, and the limitations of the study.

Conclusions
The Conclusion should synthesize the main findings and clearly state the study's contribution. Where appropriate, authors may also identify implications and directions for future research.

3. Tables and Figures

Tables should use a clear and consistent format with horizontal lines only and single spacing where appropriate. Figures must be clear, legible, and of sufficient resolution for publication. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively, provided with descriptive titles or captions, and explicitly cited in the text. Authors should ensure that all visual materials are necessary and directly relevant to the manuscript.

4. Citation and References

In-text citations and references must follow the APA 7th Edition style. The reference list should contain only sources cited in the manuscript and should be arranged alphabetically. Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management software to ensure consistency and accuracy. Authors should prioritize relevant, high-quality, and recent scholarly sources while retaining seminal works where they are theoretically necessary.

5. Online Submission

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the journal's online submission system. Authors should complete all required metadata and upload the manuscript and any required supplementary files through the online submission system .

6. Peer Review and Responsible Use of AI

All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process. Authors may use AI-assisted tools responsibly for purposes such as language editing, grammar checking, and clarity enhancement. However, AI tools must not replace the authors' scholarly judgment or responsibility for the content of the manuscript. AI must not be used to fabricate or manipulate data, generate misleading references, or compromise the originality, integrity, confidentiality, or transparency of the research. Authors should disclose the use of AI-assisted tools when such use has materially contributed to the preparation of the manuscript.
