Abstract

The current study aims to conduct a thematic and methodological analysis of national and international theses on curriculum implementation. The theses to be included in this study, which was designed as descriptive content analysis, were determined by criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods. A total of 363 theses, 21 national and 342 international, were included in the study. Research data were collected with the "Thesis Evaluation Form" developed by the researchers. In the content analysis of the data, categorical analysis and frequency analysis were used. The results of the research showed that the implementation of the curriculum in national theses was mostly discussed under the theme of curriculum development and curriculum evaluation, while in international theses, the themes studied on the curriculum implementation were more diverse and specific to the implementation process of the curriculum. While mixed methods and quantitative research methods were preferred in national theses, qualitative research methods were mostly used in international theses. In accordance with the selected research method, mixed method research designs, maximum diversity and convenience sampling methods, use of interviews and scales, descriptive statistics and content analysis were utilized in national theses. On the other hand, in international theses, qualitative case study design, purposeful sampling method, data collection through interviews, observations and documents, and data analysis with coding technique were frequently employed. The sample group of both national and international theses is mostly teachers. It is thought that the findings obtained within the scope of this research will be useful in terms of understanding the studies on the implementation of the curricula and guiding future studies to be carried out in the field.

Programın Uygulanması ile İlgili Ulusal ve Uluslararası Tezlerin Tematik ve Metodolojik Analizi

Year 2023, Volume: 36 Issue: 2, 391 - 416, 30.08.2023

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı programın uygulanması ile ilgili yapılmış ulusal ve uluslararası tezleri tematik ve metodolojik olarak analiz etmektir. Betimsel içerik analizi olarak desenlenen bu çalışmaya dâhil edilecek tezler amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yoluyla belirlenmiştir. 21’i ulusal ve 342’si uluslararası olmak üzere toplam 363 tez araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Tez Değerlendirme Formu” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi türlerinden kategorisel analiz ve frekans analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, ulusal tezlerde programın uygulanmasının çoğunlukla program geliştirme ve program değerlendirme konuları altında ele alındığını, uluslararası tezlerde ise programın uygulanmasına ilişkin çalışılan temaların daha çeşitli ve programın uygulanma sürecine özgü olduğunu göstermiştir. Ulusal tezlerde daha çok karma yöntem ile nicel araştırma yöntemleri tercih edilirken uluslararası tezlerde daha çok nitel araştırma yöntemleri uygulanmaktadır. Seçilen araştırma yöntemine uygun olarak ulusal tezlerde daha çok karma yöntem araştırma desenleri, maksimum çeşitlilik ve uygun örnekleme yöntemleri, görüşme ve ölçek kullanımı, betimsel istatistikler ve içerik analizi tercih edilirken; uluslararası tezlerde nitel durum çalışması deseni, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi, görüşme, gözlem ve dokümanlar aracılığıyla veri toplama ve kodlama tekniği ile veri analizi sıklıkla tercih edilmiştir. Hem ulusal hem de uluslararası tezlerin örneklem grubunu çoğunlukla öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırma kapsamında elde edilen bulguların, programın uygulanması ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaları anlama ve alanda yürütülecek yeni çalışmalara yön verme açısından faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
