Özet

Sosyal hizmet araştırması sosyal sorunların anlaşılması ve çözümlenmesine yönelik bilgi sağlayarak etkili uygulamaya katkı sunma, yeni hizmet modelleri geliştirme ve sosyal politika üretme amacı güden bilimsel çalışmadır. Bu nedenle sosyal hizmet araştırması sosyal sorunların değişken ve dinamik yapısına göre araştırma konularını belirlemek durumundadır. Sosyal hizmet araştırmaları arasında önemli bir yeri olan lisansüstü düzeydeki tezler, akademik düzeyde sosyal hizmet alan yazınına oldukça önemli bir katkıda bulunmaktadır. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada son 10 yılda Türkiye’deki tüm sosyal hizmet anabilim dallarında yazılan 171’i yüksek lisans, 42’si doktora tezi olmak üzere toplam 213 lisansüstü tez doküman incelemesi tekniği ile değerlendirilmiştir.
