OpenAlex Türkçe

The aim of this study is to analyze graduate theses written on professional commitment in Türkiye between 2010 and 2024 using a bibliometric method. A total of 49 theses, 36 at the master’s level and 13 at the doctoral level, accessed from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) National Thesis Center database were examined. The theses were analyzed based on criteria such as year of publication, type of thesis, advisor’s academic rank, university and department distribution, and research method. The findings indicate that the majority of the theses were completed at the master’s level and employed quantitative research methods, and that the number of theses on the subject began to increase after 2019. The results further reveal that most of the graduate theses on professional commitment in Türkiye were conducted within the field of educational sciences and that the sample groups predominantly consisted of teachers.
