study is planned as qualitative research and it is based on document
analysis as data collection method. The thesis review form that
prepared by researchers was used to collect the data. The content
analysis was used to analyze of the data collected in the study. As a
result of the searching in the Thesis Center of Council of Higher
Education, 29 theses which contain at least one of the terms
"programlama", "kodlama", "coding" and
"programming" in the abstract of the study in the subject
of "education and training " were selected and examined for
the purpose of research. The graduate theses included in this study
were coded based on the thesis review form. The findings of this
study were displayed in graphs showing the frequency and percentage
values. </span> </font> </font> </p> <p style="text-indent:.2in;margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;" align="justify"> <font face="Times New Roman, serif"> <font style="font-size:10pt;" size="2"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">According
