Abstract
The general purpose of this study is to examine the theses made between 2000-2022 on renewable energy sources and recycling in Turkey. In particular, it is to reveal how the distribution of relevant researches is according to years, research type, research subject, research method/pattern, sample group, data collection tools, data analysis methods and universities. In the research, theses obtained from the National Thesis Centre database were analyzed. The research was conducted on 126 publications in total. Of these, 107 are master's theses and 19 are doctoral dissertations. According to the results, 2019 was the year in which the most studies were conducted. Master's theses have been studied more than doctoral theses. Considering the distribution according to the subjects of the studies, it was seen that the subjects of attitude, awareness level and knowledge level were preferred the most. The most preferred research method in research is the quantitative research method. As a research design, it was seen that the most common scanning model was used among the quantitative research methods. It was seen that the phenomenological design among the qualitative research methods and the nested mixed design were mostly used under the umbrella of mixed research methods. Among the data collection tools, the interview form and scales were the most preferred tools. Finally, this research was completed with discussions and suggestions within the framework of the literature.,
