Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze the curriculum evaluation PhD dissertations in Turkey
according to different variables and present the current situation. The Research is important in
terms of helping to identify tendencies in this area and to monitor progress through setting out
the current situation in the area of curriculum evaluation. In this research, PhD dissertations on
curriculum evaluation which were written in Curriculum and Instruction Departments in
universities in Turkey were examined by document analysis. Curriculum evaluation PhD
dissertations made in Curriculum and Instruction Departments in universities in Turkey during
1996-2017 were included in this research. In the analysis of the dissertations included in this
research, content analysis was applied. It was seen that the analyzed PhD dissertations are
accepted between 1996-2017. It is also clear that the curriculum evaluation PhD dissertations
have been made more since 1998 when undergraduate programs in CI were closed. The fact that
subjects of many of the curriculum evaluation PhD dissertations include the formal education
subjects, has led to the classification of the subjects as the evaluation of the formal education
curricula and the evaluation of the non-formal education curricula. It was seen that approximately
all of PhD dissertations were listed under the heading of evaluation of the formal education
curricula. It was seen that the dissertations were made mostly in Ankara. As a result of that some
of the dissertations include places as far as possible in Turkey, the number of provinces where
theses have been increased. The majority of participants of the dissertations consisted of
individuals from higher education institutions, which provided a high proportion of participants
with a university level of education.
