Abstract

The environment in which children grow up, the experiences they have here, the literacy support and the variety of resources they have in their home environment affect children's spontaneous literacy skills processes. The aim of this study is to examine graduate theses on home literacy environment according to years, universities, types, supervisor titles, languages, research models, population and samples. Eight graduate theses registered in the national thesis center of YÖK on the subject were identified and constituted the subject of the study. Document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to analyze the theses. The data were analyzed by content analysis method. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the first study on home literacy environments at the graduate level was conducted in 2013, 62.5% of the supervisors were faculty members, students and families were taken together as the population and sample in 50% of the studies, quantitative research model was used in 62.5% of the studies, 87.5% of the studies were conducted in Turkish, the most studies were conducted at Hacettepe University, six studies were at master's level, two studies were at doctoral level, and the studies were conducted on different subjects. It was concluded that the postgraduate studies on literacy environments contributed to the studies on literacy environments in Turkey. Based on the results obtained, suggestions for graduate studies on literacy environments for researchers and other stakeholders who want to work in the field are included.
