Abstract
In this research, it was aimed to determine the research tendencies towards spatial ability between 1996-2020 in Turkey. Accordingly, 88 theses were examined. The study was designed with document review which is one of the qualitative research methods. The theses were determined with criterion sampling. Content analysis was used in the analysis. It was determined that the number of master’s theses conducted on spatial ability were more than the doctoral theses, the highest number of master’s theses were written in 2016 and 2018 and the highest number of doctoral theses were written in 2012, 2017 and 2019, the advisors of doctoral theses were mostly professors and the advisors of master’s theses were mostly assıstant professor, the highest number of these were conducted in Middle East Technical and Marmara University, and the institutions were Education and Science institutions, and the departments were Elementary, the most intended purpose were “effects on the spatial ability of the different applications”, the most used research method was quantitative and mixed research, the most preferred research design was experimental design, the most studied group was middle-school students, simple random sampling method was used, sample size of 1-50 people was preferred, the most preferred data collection tool was tests, and the most preferred data analysis technique was descriptive statistics.
Özet
Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’de 1996 ile 2020 yılları arasında yapılmış olan uzamsal yeteneğe ilişkin araştırma eğilimlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla 88 lisansüstü tez incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma türlerinden olan doküman inceleme kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına giren tezler ölçüt örnekleme ile belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada uzamsal yetenek ile ilgili yapılmış olan yüksek lisans tezlerinin sayısının doktora tezlerine göre daha fazla olduğu; yüksek lisans tezlerinin en çok 2016 ve 2018, doktora tezlerinin ise 2012, 2017 ve 2019 yıllarında yapıldığı; ağırlıklı olarak doktora tezlerinin profesörlerin, yüksek lisans tezlerinin ise doktor öğretim üyesi danışmanlığında olduğu; en çok lisansüstü tez yapılan üniversitelerin Ortadoğu Teknik ve Marmara olduğu, enstitülerin Eğitim ve Fen Bilimleri, anabilim dalının İlköğretim olduğu; tezlerde en çok “farklı uygulamaların uzamsal yeteneğin gelişimi üzerindeki etkileri” amacına odaklanıldığı; araştırma yöntemlerinden en fazla nicel ve karma araştırmanın, araştırma desenlerinden en çok deneysel deseninin tercih edildiği; en çok ortaokul öğrencileri ile çalışıldığı; basit tesadüfî örnekleme yönteminin kullanıldığı; 1-50 kişilik örneklem büyüklüğünün tercih edildiği; tezlerin çoğunda tercih edilen veri toplama aracının test olduğu; betimsel istatistiklerin en fazla tercih edilen veri analiz tekniği olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
