Türkiye’de İstatistik ve Olasılık Öğrenme Alanına İlişkin Hazırlanan Lisansüstü Tezlerin İncelenmesi

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de olasılık ve istatistik öğrenme alanına ilişkin lisansüstü tezlerin eğilimini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Toplanan verilerin analizinde nitel veri analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Tezlerin yayın yılına göre dağılımının düzenli olmadığını ortaya çıkmıştır. Tezlerin çoğunun istatistiğin öğrenme alanında yazıldığı tespit edilmiştir. "Olasılık" kelimesi tezlerde kullanılan en popüler anahtar kelime olmuştur. Tezlerin daha çok "öğretim uygulamalarının farklı bileşenlerin gelişimi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemek" amacıyla yazıldığı görülmüştür. Tezlerde çoğunlukla nicel araştırma yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmalara katılan katılımcı sayısının en fazla 0-100 aralığında olduğu ve çalışmalarda seçilen en fazla tercih edilen katılımcı grubunun ortaokul öğrencileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Teknoloji destekli öğretim ortamının diğer öğretim ortamlarına göre daha fazla kullanıldığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Sonuçlar genel olarak incelendiğinde hem öğrencilerin hem de öğretmenlerin/hizmet öncesi öğretmenlerin istatistik ve olasılık kavramları hakkında yanlış anlamalara ve bilgi eksikliğine sahip oldukları fark edilmiştir. Uygulanan öğretim uygulamaları öğrencilerin başarılarında çoğunlukla anlamlı bir artışa neden olmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

An Investigation of Theses and Dissertations About the Statistics and Probability Learning Area in Turkey

A document analysis was used in this study to examine Turkish theses/dissertations on probability and statistics.126 graduate theses/dissertations were analyzed by subjecting them to both content and descriptive analysis. According to the findings, theses/dissertations were not distributed evenly by publication year. The majority of theses/dissertations were written in the learning area of statistics. There was a great deal of interest in the keyword "probability". Most of the theses/dissertations examined how teaching practices affected the development of components. A large amount of research was conducted using quantitative methods. Most of the students in the study were middle schoolers, with the sample group ranging from 0 to 100 people at most. There was greater use of technology-supported teaching environments than other teaching environments. Both students and teachers exhibited misconceptions and a lack of knowledge regarding statistics and probability. Because of the teaching practices that were fulfilled, students' performance increased significantly.

Keywords:
