Analysis of the longest-running academic journal in the field of pedagogy in Azerbaijan (Azerbaijan Mektebi)

Abstract

The article discusses the history of "Azerbaycan Mektebi," the longest-running scientific-theoretical pedagogical journal of Azerbaijan's education system. Initially published in 1924 under the name "Yeni Mektep," the journal was later issued as "Müellime Kömek" between 1930 and 1941. Since 1943, it has been published under the name "Azerbaycan Mektebi." Leading figures of Azerbaijani pedagogical sciences, such as Academician M. Mehdizade, Professor E. Seyidov, M. Muradxanov, and later-generation scholars including Academician H. Ahmedov, Professor N. Kazimov, Professor Y. Talıbov, Professor V. Ahmedov, Professor Z. Karalov, Professor E. Hashimov, Professor E. Agayev, and Professor F. Rustemov, have published their works in this journal, gained recognition, and matured academically. Between 1954 and 1991, seven methodological journals were published as supplements to "Azerbaycan Mektebi." This development has contributed to the growth of other educational journals in Azerbaijan.
