Özet:

 This study aimed to examine the use of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in masters and doctoral theses published in the field of mathematics education in Turkiye between 2019 and 2023. For this purpose, a total of 237 masters and doctoral theses downloaded from the Council of Higher Education national thesis center were analyzed within the scope of the method and the framework used. Given that masters and doctoral theses in the field of mathematics education were reviewed, the document analysis method was utilized. The theses were analyzed based on characteristics: methodology quantitative, qualitative, mixed research paradigm and framework theoretical, conceptual, theoretical and conceptual, other. In the analysis phase, the distribution of theses according to types and years was also examined. The findings indicated that the majority of thesis studies were conducted using a qualitative method within a theoretical framework. This was followed by quantitative studies using a theoretical framework and mixed-method studies within a theoretical framework. Additionally, there were qualitative studies classified under other and qualitative studies using a conceptual framework. The qualitative thesis studies using the theoretical framework were predominant and that these were mostly masters theses and published in 2023. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature and suggestions were made for future research.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2019-2023 yılları arasında Türkiyede matematik eğitimi alanında yayımlanan yüksek lisans ve doktora tezlerinde kuramsal ve kavramsal çerçeve kullanımını incelemektir. Bu amaçla, Yükseköğretim Kurulu ulusal tez merkezinden indirilen toplam 237 yüksek lisans ve doktora tezi, kullanılan yöntem ve çerçeve kapsamında analiz edilmiştir. Matematik eğitimi alanındaki yüksek lisans ve doktora tezleri incelendiğinden çalışmada doküman analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Tezler metodoloji nicel, nitel, karma araştırma paradigması ve çerçeve kuramsal, kavramsal, kuramsal ve kavramsal, diğer özelliklerine göre analiz edilmiştir. Analiz aşamasında, tezlerin türlerine ve yıllara göre dağılımı da incelenmiştir. Bulgular, tez çalışmalarının çoğunluğunun kuramsal çerçeve kullanılarak nitel yöntemle gerçekleştirildiğini göstermiştir. Bunu, kuramsal çerçeve kullanılan nicel çalışmalar ve yine kuramsal çerçeve kullanılan karma yöntem çalışmaları takip etmiştir. Ayrıca, diğer ve kavramsal çerçeve kategorilerinde de nitel çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Kuramsal çerçeve kullanılan nitel tez çalışmalarının ağırlıklı olduğu ve bunların çoğunlukla yüksek lisans tezleri olduğu ve 2023 yılında yayımlandığı görülmektedir. Bulgular ilgili alan yazın ışığında tartışılarak gelecek araştırmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
