Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine postgraduate theses conducted in the field of Early Childhood Education in Turkey between 2013 and 2023. In this study, data was collected using the technique of document analysis, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The population of the study consists of 352 postgraduate theses published in the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education between 2013 and 2023. The sample of the research consists of 191 master's theses and 21 doctoral theses that have been approved and published in the Department of Preschool Education, Department of Elementary Education, Department of Educational Sciences, and Department of Primary Education, all of which are openly accessible. The sample of the research also constitutes the study group of the research. The research findings indicate that the majority of the postgraduate theses conducted between 2013 and 2023 were master's theses. It is noteworthy that the number of doctoral theses is limited. The maximum year in which a postgraduate thesis was published has been determined as 2019. According to the findings obtained, the number of female authors and female advisors is significantly higher than the number of male authors and male advisors. Most postgraduate theses were conducted at the Institute of Educational Sciences. The conclusion has been reached that the most frequently coded focal point is "Education".
