In this study, the goal was todetermine the trends in postgraduate studies regarding reading. The researchwas carried out, using document analysis which is a qualitative research method.201 theses and dissertations were analyzed, using a thesis examination form.The findings of the research are as follows: A major increase has been observedin the number of theses on reading since 2009. Most of those theses were completedat Gazi University and focused on reading comprehension. In those studies,mostly 6-10 research questions were investigated. Descriptive survey model was mostlyused in them. The samples were mostly secondary school students. Usually, thesample size was between 31-100 learners and the sampling method was random. Themost commonly used data collection tool was reading comprehension tests and thedata analysis method was the t-test. Based on these results, it was suggestedthat new teaching approaches in terms of subject, mixed research and actionresearch in terms of method, prospective teachers and mixed groups in terms ofsample, and regression as a method of quantitative analysis might be included infuture studies. Observation, diary, self-evaluation, peer assessment, andportfolio may be used more as data collection tools. Scientific researchmethods courses should be compulsory in postgraduate education to write morerobust theses in terms of method. In addition, advisors can be informed aboutscientific research methods so that they can direct scientific research studiesbetter.
