Dear reader, The second issue of the Journal of Effective Teaching Methods (JETM) is published under the aegis of a new international Editorial Team. And it is an honor and privilege for me, as an Editor-in-Chief, to take on the responsibility of editing and publishing JETM this year. The importance of an international Editorial Team cannot be overstated in today’s globalized world, as this brings together professionals from different backgrounds, cultures, and regions, resulting in a rich tapestry of ideas and perspectives that greatly enhance content creation. One of the key benefits of an international Editorial Team is its ability to provide a comprehensive understanding of global issues, education in particular. With members hailing from various countries, the team can offer unique solutions, and this diversity ensures that content is not biased towards a single perspective or limited to a particular cultural context. Moreover, it should be noted that JETM is a scholarly open-access journal aiming to contribute to advancing pedagogical science through scientific discoveries and providing free access to research information. The journal also provides an open access system so the published works reach the scientific community and education practitioners immediately after publication, thus providing higher citations for the authors. Since February 2023, we have been busy preparing for this issue involving multiple stages to ensure high-quality publications. Inviting authors to publish their texts in this issue, we assumed that education is witnessing a number of changes and advancements driven by ongoing research, technological innovations, and evolving pedagogical approaches. In this context, educational research plays a pivotal role in shaping and improving the field of education. Also, it helps identify evidence-based strategies that enhance student outcomes, inform instructional approaches, and drive educational reforms. By studying various aspects of education, such as practical pedagogy, holistic learning, assessment, digital learning environments, and educational technologies, our authors contribute to advancing knowledge and refining educational practices. We present to readers the results of in-depth investigations, terminological reflections on pedagogical phenomena, as well as the results of empirical research. We hope that the findings presented by our authors will enable us to bring new ideas to the educational process and prepare educators for a series of complex challenges of the XXIst century consciously and creatively. To attend to the international range of the journal and to extend the relevance and readability of JETM, we will, as Editorial Team, continue to encourage authors to submit their papers so as to incorporate international, transnational, and comparative implications of their work. We strongly believe that international articles will help connect to current pedagogical concerns and assess the solutions to major problems within the education system. And, of course, we welcome the support of reviewers for the journal in developing these aims. On behalf of the entire Editorial Team, we wish you an engaging and beneficial read.
