TY - JOUR T1 - Research Studies of Computer-assisted Instruction in Mathematics Education: Examination of Turkish Graduate Theses Completed between 2005-2016 AU - Topcu, Onur AU - Koc, Mustafa PY - 2018 DA - August JF - The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational and Social Sciences JO - EPESS PB - ISRES Publishing WT - DergiPark SN - 2587-1730 SP - 381 EP - 387 VL - 9 LA - en AB - The rapid development and diffusionof technology dramatically change the power balances/relations and competitionareas among the countries. In order to keep up with such a transformation andto become an arbiter or an entitled shareholder, countries strive to getbenefit from the latest technology in their all institutions. Intensive effortand studies are being conducted especially on the information and technologyoriented economy and growth. One of the fundamental requirements for success inthis issue is to train entrepreneur citizens that are aware of the potentialsof technology and able to use technology for production through integratingtechnology in educational contexts. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is oneof the applications to help in the way of fulfilling this goal. Defined asmaking use and taking the advantage of computer technologies inteaching-learning activities, CAI aims to provide students with effective andenriched educational experiences that can ideally serve their needs andinterests. Computers are also used in mathematics education where analyticprocesses such as calculation, visualization, prediction and intuition,modeling and generalization are required. The potentials of CAI in mathematicseducation have been explored in research studies. Examination of these studiesis important in order to follow rapidly changing computer applications andrelated research trends in this area. Therefore, using a content analysis, thisstudy aims to provide an overall evaluation of Turkish graduate thesis focusingon the use of CAI in mathematics education completed between 2005 and 2016. Atotal of 83 theses were recruited through relevant searches on the onlinedatabase of Higher Education Council. They were carefully read and thenecessary information was transferred to the Microsoft Excel environment usingthe 4N1K literature review method. Then, the information about each study wascoded in terms of research problem, CAI application employed, main variables,research methods, sampling, data collection and analysis methods and resultsand then converted into frequency and percentage tables.
