Our study with the scanning model, which is a descriptive analysis technique, was analyzed with the content analysis method of 425 theses, including 351 master&#039;s and 74 doctoral theses, within the scope of theses written in the field of social studies education. When we look at the total number of dissertations examined, it is seen that the number of Master&#039;s thesis is approximately 5 times higher than the number of doctoral dissertations. As a result of the 20-year review, the number of theses increased with 2014, and in 2017 both master&#039;s and doctoral theses were the most studied. Researchers often preferred quantitative methods in the dissertations studied.</p></abstract>
