The aim of this study is to analyze the scientific studies on the mind mapping technique in Türkiye in a comprehensive and holistic way. To this end, master's theses dissertations and articles which were indexed in Google Scholar, YÖK Thesis Search, YÖK Academic, Ulakbim TR Directory, Dergipark and Proquest databases in Türkiye were scanned. The studies examined in terms of type, year, method and design, data collection tools, data analysis methods, sample size, study group, purpose, subject and keywords were analyzed under 10 themes. Criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used in the research, and a total of 100 publications constitute the study group of the research. The data were analyzed with the content analysis method. According to the research findings, it was determined that the studies were mostly done in article type and in 2022, 2012, 2019, and 2020, respectively. It was also determined that mostly quantitative methods were preferred in the studies. The present study revealed that achievement tests, interview forms and attitude scales were used as data collection tools and t-test, one of the quantitative predictive analysis methods, was also used at most as a data analysis method. In addition, it was determined that the sample size was mostly in the range of 0-50 and the researchers mostly studied with secondary school students. It was determined that most of the studies were conducted in social sciences, science, mathematics and Turkish courses. Based on the results of the research, the studies in which high school and university students use the mind mapping technique as well as the studies on the applicability of the mind mapping technique in different fields can be emphasized.
