Abstract
This study aims to conduct a content analysis of the postgraduate theses on the education of the concept of atom in Turkey from 2000 to 2023. The study utilized the document analysis method, a qualitative research design approach. The theses were obtained by conducting a search in the "Thesis Center" of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). "Thesis Classification Form" and "Thesis Screening Form" were used as data collection tools. Content analysis was performed on 51 theses that were conducted between 2000 and 2023 and whose full versions were accessed. It was observed that the theses were conducted in 25 different universities, using more than one data collection tool and analysis method. It was determined that most of the theses were supervised by academicians having the title of Prof.Dr. It was determined that almost all of the theses were conducted in the form of research-studies, qualitative research approach was mostly used as the research method, quasi-experimental model was mostly used as the research model, and students were generally used as the sample group. The most widely used data collection tools in the theses were interviews and achievement tests, while t-tests and content analysis were used as analysis techniques. In the selection of thesis topics, the studies in which teaching methods were tried the most were conducted. It was determined that students had difficulty in understanding the concept of atom and had misconceptions.
