Abstract

This study analyses recent articles published in Türkiye on interdisciplinary approaches in mathematics education, focusing on publication trends, aims, methods, samples, data analysis techniques, findings, and recommendations to provide valuable research insights. In the study, 49 articles originating from Türkiye were searched in TR index, Google Scholar, DergiPark, Scopus and WoS databases and examined by thematic analysis method. As a result of the study, it is seen that articles have been published in the relevant field since 2005, the number of publications has been increasing since 2017, and the highest number of publications was published in 2021. When these studies were examined in terms of their aims, they generally aimed to improve students' problem solving, critical thinking and mathematical thinking skills. In terms of their aims, explanatory studies were mostly preferred according to research types. In terms of levels, intervention studies were mostly preferred according to research types. In terms of research methods, case study design from qualitative research methods was mostly preferred. The sample groups consisted mostly of secondary school students. The results of the articles analysed in this study shows that interdisciplinary approaches are an effective method to increase students' skills and attitudes in mathematics education.
