Dear Researchers,

The 23rd International Primary Teacher Education Symposium (IPTES 2025) will be held in Ankara in the collaboration with the Classroom Teacher Educators’ Association (CTEA) and Gazi University. The aim of the symposium is to share scientific studies, practices, and experiences related to primary teacher education, to bring together academics, teachers, and students working in this field, to enhance scientific and social interaction at the highest level, to foster cooperation and coordination among them, and to create new perspectives and areas of study.

To enhance the scientific quality of the symposium, we will strive to ensure the participation of distinguished scholars in the field both nationally and internationally. Additionally, we will make efforts to discuss and evaluate the current issues in primary teacher education in detail and to create the necessary scientific environments. In this context, the symposium will feature invited speakers, presentations, conferences, panels, poster presentations, sessions on best practices in education, workshops, and other collaborative activities. In short, we are preparing for a symposium rich in scientific and social interaction. The abstract books and books containing full texts will be published in PDF format on the symposium website.

We would be delighted to see you at the 23rd International Primary Teacher Education Symposium on October 23-26, 2025. We wish you ease and success in your work.

Kind regards,

Symposium Organizing Committee
