Türkiye’de Problem Çözmeyi Geliştirmeye Yönelik İlkokul Düzeyindeki Lisansüstü Tezlerin Sistematik İncelenmesi
A Systematic Investigation of Primary School Level Graduate Theses on Improving Problem Solving in Turkey

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the postgraduate studies conducted in Turkey between 2012 and 2022 at the primary school level to develop problem-solving according to specific criteria and to determine the tendencies of these studies. The related study was conducted as a document review within the framework of a qualitative research approach. In this context, literature reviews and 29 theses that met the inclusion criteria were examined throughout the study. The studies included in the study were examined using the thesis review form prepared by the researcher, and the data obtained were analyzed using the descriptive analysis technique. As a result of the research, it was found that postgraduate theses were mostly conducted in experimental design within the framework of quantitative research method, scales were frequently used as data collection tools and t-test was mostly used in data analysis. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that although there are many postgraduate theses on mathematical problem-solving at the primary school level in the relevant literature, there are fewer postgraduate thesis studies on developing problem-solving skills. In this context, it can be suggested that more postgraduate thesis studies should be conducted to improve problem-solving skills.
