The data were obtained from 108 dissertations from the national thesis center. The theses have been searched with keywords educational games and digital game. The theses were classified with regard to the course, thesis type, the university, the year, the audience and game type. Then, related to mathematics education dissertations were classified in regard to the type of educational games, audience and the methods used considiring the expertise of the advisors. The theses were carried out between 1990 and 2020 on 16 different courses, 89 of them are masters and 19 are doctoral studies. Mostly related theses were prepared in (14.8%) Gazi, (7.4%) Atatürk and (7.4%) Marmara Universities. The theses were carried out from pre-school to university in terms of implementation and 40 of them are digital and 68 are non-digital educational games. 9 of the theses were about mathematics education, 6 of them are related to digital educational games and 3 of them are related to non-digital educational games. The rate of digital game used theses in mathematics education is higher than the other course areas. All theses were prepared for the secondary school level. In addition, 5 of the advisors were mathematics educators and 4 of them were in different fields. According to the findings, almost all of the theses results have positive effects on academic achievement, but there is no statistically significant difference in academic study and attitude only in one study.}, number={10}
