Türkiye'de Kuantum Öğrenme Üzerine Yapılmış Lisansüstü Tezlerin İncelenmesi

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how the quantum learning model (QLM) was handled in graduate theses carried out in Turkey. In this context, the study was built on the document analysis of graduate theses which were registered at the Council of Higher Education and carried out on quantum learning in Turkey between 2006 and 2018. The theses were determined by doing a search on the database of the Higher Education Council National Thesis Center (YÖK) with the "quantum learning" keywords. While examining the theses, the research questions were determined by considering the basic sections in the theoretical framework that should be included in a thesis. In line with the research questions, the theses were examined in terms of demographic characteristics (type, year, university, institute, department, number of pages), topic, dependent-independent variables of the study, characteristics of the sample (sample size, sample level), type of the study, data collection tools, and the findings obtained. The findings were tabulated after they were coded. In the study, a total of 16 theses were found to have studied quantum learning, and thus, these theses formed the study group. Of the studies investigated using the document review method, 4 were doctoral theses and 12 were master's theses. On the other hand, the number of studies was observed to increase after 2014. It was noteworthy that these theses were conducted in 13 different universities in certain periods and mostly in primary education, and particularly in science education. Finally, academic achievement was found to be the most examined variable in the quantum learning model. This study is thought to guide studies that will be carried out on this topic as well as understanding the nature of quantum learning.
