Özet:

 The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of postgraduate theses on mediating variables in the field of educational sciences in our country according to years, postgraduate levels, language used, universities, institutes, and departments; their aims, methods and designs used, population-sample types and sizes, data collection tools, mediation model, how mediation analysis is performed, and the type of mediation with a holistic perspective and to reveal the existing situation by making a comparative analysis. The data of this study were compiled from the studies conducted between 2004 and 2023 and found in the archive of the Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education YÖK.The research was conducted using qualitative research method, the data were collected through document analysis and the data were analyzed by content analysis method. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the theses in our country were generally conducted at the masters level, in state universities, using quantitative method and relational survey design. The aim of the theses was generally to examine the mediating effect of a third variable on the relationship between independent and dependent variables, and to adapt and develop scales. The theses were generally constructed in the simple mediation model, the models were analyzed with the structural equation model, and the significance of the mediation effect was tested with the Bootstrap method. The results obtained showed that the relationships established were generally in the role of partial mediation and full mediation.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı ülkemizde eğitim bilimleri alanında aracı değişken konularında yapılmış lisansüstü tezlerin yıllara, lisansüstü düzeylere, kullanılan dile, üniversitelere, enstitülere, ana bilim dallarına göre dağılımını; amaçlarını, kullanılan yöntem ve desenleri, evren-örneklem türlerini ve büyüklüklerini, veri toplama araçlarını, aracılık modelini, aracılık analizinin nasıl yapıldığını ve aracılık türünü bütüncül bir bakış açısı ile belirlemek ve var olan durumu karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yaparak ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmanın verileri, 2004 ile 2023 arasında gerçekleştirilmiş ve Yükseköğretim Kurulu YÖK Tez Merkezinde bulunan çalışmalardan derlenmiştir.Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiş olup veriler doküman incelemesi yoluyla toplanmış ve veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Elde edilen araştırma sonuçlarına göre, ülkemizde yapılan tezlerin genellikle yüksek lisans düzeyinde, devlet üniversitelerinde yapıldığı, nicel yöntem ve ilişkisel tarama deseni kullanılarak gerçekleştirildiği belirlenmiştir. Tezlerin amacı genellikle, bağımsız ve bağımlı değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiye üçüncü bir değişkenin aracılık etkisini incelemek, ölçek uyarlamak ve geliştirmek olmuştur. Tezler genellikle basit aracılık modelinde oluşturulmuş, modellerin analizleri yapısal eşitlik modeli ile yapılmış, yapılan analizlerde aracılık etkisinin anlamlılığı Bootstrap yöntemi ile test edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, kurulan ilişkilerin genellikle kısmi aracılık ve tam aracılık rolünde olduğunu göstermiştir.
