II. INTERNATIONAL POSITIVE SCHOOLS AND WELL-BEING CONGRESS

Our congress meets the criteria for Associate Professorship, Appointment, and Promotion. There is an opportunity for both face-to-face and online participation (Online participation is for those outside of the TRNC).

Each presentation at the congress will be allocated 15 minutes. The papers or abstracts you submit to the congress will be reviewed first in terms of writing and formatting by the congress secretariat, then sent to expert referees in the field. The decision of acceptance or rejection will be based on the votes of 3 referees (by majority vote).

During the evaluation process of the papers by the referees, the following criteria will be utilized:

  1. Topic: Originality, significance of the problem, importance of the subject, its relevance to the theme of the congress, and suitability.
  2. Contribution to Education: Scientific/educational significance, theoretical/practical framework (emphasis is expected on studies based primarily on empirical evidence), contribution to the field.
  3. Analysis and Interpretations: Significance of the results obtained; the relationship of findings to results; suggestions it offers for the development of application, policy, and new ideas; generalizability or utility of findings or concepts.
  4. Openness to Interaction: Being open to interaction with listeners; allowing the development of multiple perspectives.
