Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi Örneğinde Dijital Ebeveynlik Farkındalığı: Bibliyometrik ve İçerik Analizi

Öz

Bu çalışma, Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi’nde yayımlanan dijital ebeveynlik farkındalığına ilişkin lisansüstü tezleri haritalayan retrospektif-tanımlayıcı bir bibliyometrik ve içerik analizi çalışmasıdır. “Dijital ebeveynlik”, “dijital ebeveynlik farkındalığı” ve “dijital farkındalık” anahtar sözcükleriyle taranan kayıtlardan Türkiye’de yayımlanan, tam metni erişilebilir ve odağı dijital ebeveynlik/dijital ebeveynlik farkındalığı olan tezler dahil edildi. Yinelenen ve konu dışı kayıtlar dışlandı. Toplam 16 tez saptandı ve içerik verileri iki araştırmacı tarafından bağımsız kodlandı. Bulgular, kavramın Türkiye’de 2020’de görünürleştiğini ve 2023’te belirgin arttığını göstermektedir. Tezlerin %75’i yüksek lisans düzeyindedir, psikoloji, sağlık bilimleri, eğitim ve teknoloji alanlarında yoğunlaşmaktadır. Sıklıkla çalışılan temalar arasında dijital bağımlılık, internet ve ekran bağımlılığı ile problemli medya kullanımı yer almaktadır. Örneklem çoğunlukla okul öncesi ve ilkokul çocukları ile ebeveynlerdir. Yalnız iki tezde deneysel desenin kullanılması, müdahale temelli kanıtın sınırlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu nedenle ölçeklenebilir ebeveyn rehberliği programlarının kontrollü ve boylamsal tasarımlarla test edilmesi önerilmektedir.

Digital Parenting Awareness in the Council of Higher Education National Thesis Center Sample: A Bibliometric and Content Analysis

Öz

This study is a retrospective, descriptive, bibliometric, and content analysis of postgraduate theses on digital parenting awareness published in the Higher Education Council National Thesis Centre. Records searched using the keywords "digital parenting", "digital parenting awareness", and "digital awareness" included those published in Türkiye and fully accessible, focusing on digital parenting/digital parenting awareness. The researchers excluded duplicate and irrelevant records, identified sixteen theses, and independently coded the content data. The concept became visible around 2020 and increased markedly in 2023. Most theses were master s-level (75%) and clustered in psychology, health sciences, education, and technology. Key themes included digital addiction, internet/screen addiction, and problematic media use. Samples primarily comprised preschool and primary school children and their parents. Only two of the theses used experimental designs, indicating scarce evidence of interventions. Future studies should evaluate scalable parent-guidance programmes using controlled and longitudinal designs.
