Vol. 2 No. 2 (2023): Dilla Journal of Education

I am pleased to introduce the release of Volume 2, Issue 2 of the Dilla Journal of Education, a peer-reviewed bi-annual publication of Dilla University. This issue presents a diverse collection of articles that delve into critical aspects of education within Ethiopia.

On behalf of the editorial board, I invite you to explore the research presented, which examines topics such as the lived experiences of teachers implementing Early Childhood Care and Education Policy in government pre-primary schools of Hadiya Zone, the professional competencies of teacher educators in Ethiopia, and the use of GeoGebra as a mediating artifact to minimize students’ misconceptions in learning function concepts. Additionally, this issue assesses community service practices in Ethiopian universities and explores the determinants of job satisfaction among teacher educators.

It is my hope that this issue provides valuable insights, stimulates further discussion, and encourages continued research within the Ethiopian education landscape. I encourage you to engage with these articles and contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding educational improvement.

Finally, I extend my sincere gratitude to the authors for contributing their valuable research, to the reviewers for their rigorous and insightful feedback, and to the dedicated members of the editorial team for their tireless efforts in bringing this issue to fruition. Your commitment to scholarly excellence is highly appreciated.
