Özet:

 This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the general trends in doctoral dissertations on values education written in Türkiye between 2007 and 2024. A total of 119 doctoral dissertations accessible through the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education YÖK were examined using the document analysis method and analyzed through descriptive analysis techniques. The dissertations were categorized based on variables such as year, university, faculty, department, research method, sample size, findings, and recommendations. The findings indicate that the majority of dissertations were completed between 2018 and 2024, with a significant concentration in well-established universities such as Gazi University and Atatürk University. Faculties of education were identified as the primary institutional contributors to these studies. In terms of the distribution of theses by section, Turkish and Social Sciences Education, Basic Education, and Educational Sciences stand out. Doctoral theses are mostly written using mixed and qualitative research methods and conducted with few participants, in line with the nature of qualitative research methods. The relevant findings of the theses show that literary texts are frequently used. In addition, it is emphasized that the programs developed for values education are effective. Accordingly, the dissertations commonly recommend the integration of written and oral literary texts in values education, the positive impact of in-class and extracurricular activities, and the critical importance of a holistic school-family-community partnership. In light of the findings, future research is recommended to focus on diverse topics and participant groups to further elucidate the effectiveness of identified themes and recommendations.

 2007-2024 yılları arasında Türkiyede değerler eğitimi üzerine yazılan doktora tezlerinin genel eğiliminin incelendiği bu çalışmada ilk olarak YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi üzerinden erişime açık olan 119 doktora tezi doküman incelemesi yöntemi ile incelenmiş ve betimsel analiz tekniği ile çözümlenmiştir. Doktora tezleri; yıl, üniversite, fakülte, bölüm, yöntem, örneklem grubu büyüklüğü, sonuç ve öneriler gibi bilgiler üzerinden kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Ulaşılan sonuçlarda değerler eğitimi ile ilgili doktora tezinin daha çok 2018 ile 2024 yılları arasında yazıldığı, en fazla Gazi Üniversitesi ve Atatürk Üniversitesi gibi köklü üniversitelere ait olduğu, eğitim fakültelerinin bu konudaki tezlere daha fazla ev sahipliği yaptığı belirlenmiştir. Tezlerin bölümlere göre dağılımında ise Türkçe ve Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi, Temel Eğitim ve Eğitim Bilimleri öne çıkmaktadır. Doktora tezleri, çoğunlukla karma ve nitel araştırma yöntemleri ile yazılmış ve nitel araştırma yöntemlerinin doğasına uygun olarak az sayıda katılımcı sayısı ile yürütülmüştür. Tezlerin ilgili sonuçlarında ağırlıklı olarak edebi eserlerin sıklıkla kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca değerler eğitimi için geliştirilen programların etkili olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda geliştirilen tez önerilerinde daha çok değerler eğitiminde yazılı ve sözlü edebi eserlerin kullanılması, sınıf içi ve sınıf dışı etkinliklerin olumlu yansımaları ve okul-aile-çevre ilişkisinin bütüncül önemi belirtilmiştir. Araştırmamızda özellikle öne çıkan sonuç ve öneriler kategorilerinin daha iyi yorumlanması ve etkililiğinin anlaşılması adına konu ve katılımcı gruplarını da içeren farklı çalışmaların yapılması önerilebilir.
