Theses Written by Turkish Authors About ChatGPT in The Field of Education and Training: A Content Analysis

Abstract

ChatGPT has undoubtedly been one of the sensational artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, riveting international scholars from diverse disciplines. In an effort to contribute to its curricular integration or explore its impacts on pedagogical integration, this study analyzed the content of Master’s theses stored in the Council of Higher Education’s (CoHE) National Thesis Center (NTC) and written by Turkish authors in the field of education and training. The content analysis included (i) documentary characteristics, (ii) methodological properties, (iii) research topics, and (iv) main findings. The first analysis unit revealed institutional, provincial, regional, and collegiate variations, albeit a relatively low number of theses. A relevant finding was the absence of doctoral dissertations on ChatGPT. The second analysis unit indicated the need for more methodological robustness and variety in designing theses. The third unit of analysis shed light on under-researched topics in education and training, as well as other fields. The last analysis unit showcased ChatGPT’s manifold applications across different departments, notwithstanding the voiced concerns. Overall, the study illuminates prospective research through its findings and bridges a significant literature gap.
