A Thematic Analysis of the Theses about Problem Posing in Turkish Context

In this study, it was aimed to make an examination from a thematic aspect on the theses which were prepared on problem posing in Turkey. For this purpose, 52 postgraduate theses about problem posing were examined. Since the theses prepared in 2019 continue to be uploaded to the system, theses prepared until 2018 were included in the study. Theses were examined through document analysis in terms of variables such as type, year, institute, branch of science, sample type, sample size, method, design, data collection tools, research topic and subject studied. In the study, the data were analyzed by content analysis method. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were used with the help of Microsoft Excel and SPSS 21 softwares. As a result of the research, it was found out that the number of master's theses was more. It was seen that 2008 was the year when the highest number of thesis were prepared and the number of theses prepared in recent years increased gradually. Qualitative methods were predominantly used in the theses studied. It was determined that a lot of studies were carried out with middle school students. Problem posing skills and success are among the most frequently researched topics. The most studied topics in the theses prepared by using problem posing are “numbers and operations” and “fractions”. In line with the results of the research, some suggestions were made to the researchers considering to work in this field.
