Analysis of Postgraduate Theses on Analytical Thinking in Türkiye
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Social and Education Sciences (IConSES) (Austin, TX, Oct 13-16, 2022)
This study aims to examine postgraduate studies on analytical thinking in Türkiye. Using the descriptive content analysis method, postgraduate studies on analytical thinking skills were examined and arranged, and general trends in the field were determined. The YÖK national database was searched using the keyword "analytical thinking." Studies on the subject were examined according to the year, publication language, study group, type of study, subject associated with analytical thinking skills, research method, measurement tool, and quantitative analysis techniques. According to the results obtained, it was observed that postgraduate research on analytical thinking skills started in 2009 and increased in 2021. It is understood that the studies are primarily carried out with secondary school and university students. One study was found with high school students and teachers. There are no studies conducted with pre-school and primary school students. Most of the studies are at the graduate level. Analytical thinking skills are discussed in topics such as Conceptual understanding, Context-based learning, Critical thinking, Life skills, Mathematical problem solving, Personnel factors, and STEM. It was understood that a large proportion of the studies examined were in the type of quantitative research. No study is only in the type of qualitative research. Studies need to investigate the relationship between analytical and higher-order thinking skills such as creative thinking, reasoning, and practical thinking.
