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.
