- Abstract
The research studies carried out within the scope of graduate education are of utmost importance to direct the nations' policies on science. The purpose of the study was to investigate primary and secondary school level science and mathematics curriculum evaluation graduate theses conducted in Turkey during the 2005-2017 period, in terms of demographic and methodological characteristics and curriculum evaluation processes/practices. Considering the latest curriculumbased changes, the data set were selected within the scope of master or doctoral thesis on science or mathematics curriculum evaluation completed in 2005-2017 period and accessible in the National Theses Center database. A total of 60 graduate theses were analyzed through theses analysis form. According to findings, the majority of curriculum evaluation studies were master theses (f=47) conducted in primary education department (f=12); dissertations (f=13) were mostly conducted in the department of educational sciences (f=4) and curriculum and instruction (f=4). Qualitative methods were the least preferred research method in the studies. Random sampling was the most used strategy in both master theses and dissertations. While a single data collection instrument was preferred in master theses (f=30), more than one data collection instruments were preferred in dissertations (f=10). The study also revealed that not only the theoretical bases but also the procedures followed during curriculum evaluation process were dealt with in a very superficial and narrow scope in both master theses and dissertations.
