What trends do Turkish biology education studies indicate?

The aim of this study is to determine what trends Turkish biology education studies indicate.
To achieve this aim, the researchers examined online databases of the Higher Education
Council and open access archieves of graduate thesis in web sites of Turkish universities.
Finally, totally 138 graduate theses were elicited to analyze in regard to following matrix:
year, research interest, research methodology and sample. The results show that descriptive
study for research interest and survey for research methodolody are highly dominant in the
graduate theses under investigation. Also, even though learning involves an interaction
amongst student, teacher, parent and administor, there is no study on investigating what the
student parents think about their learning responsibility. It is suggested that further studies
should be undertaken to emerge Turkish biology education trend.
