A Content Analysis of National and International Graduate Theses on Children's Literature

Abstract

This study aims to investigate and evaluate the national and international graduate theses on “children's literature” according to their graduate levels, publication years, research topics, research questions, purposes, methods and data collection tools. The National Thesis Center database of Council of Higher Education was used to access national theses, and the ProQuest database to access international theses. Scanning of theses was limited to those made between 2010-2019. Document analysis was used utilizing the concepts related to children's literature, and then content analysis was used to analyze the data obtained by means of the form developed by the researchers. It was revealed that female researchers had more studies, national and international theses differed in terms of graduate-level and year, qualitative design was more preferred in both national and international theses. Prevalent research topics were the function of children’s literature in national theses and the ideology in children’s literature in international theses.
