Investigation of articles of education faculties in TR dizin for mathematical problem solving

The aim of this study is to determine the general tendency by making descriptive content analysis of the articles on mathematical problem solving published in the journals of education in Turkey, published in TR Dizin. All articles published from 2004, which was the publication year of the first article on the subject of mathematical problem solving in the journals of education faculties published in TR Dizin, until the end of 2022 have been analyzed and 110 articles have been included in the study. The articles have been analyzed according to "Mathematical Problem Solving Articles Review Form Published in TR Dizin", which was prepared for the research designed on the basis of descriptive content analysis. The articles have been analyzed under categories of the date the article was published, the title of the author, the publication language, the name of the journal in which it was published, the universities of the authors of the articles, the keywords in the article, the sample group, the sample size, the research model, the data collection tools, the data analysis method, the purpose, method, results and arguments of the article. With the help of Microsoft Excel program, the frequency and percentage distributions of the categories created in the form have been calculated. The obtained data has been presented to the reader in detail with the help of graphics and tables. According to the results of the research; 2018 is the year that the most articles on mathematical problem solving have been published. Most of the articles have been published in Turkish. Highly 7th graders and a sample size of 31-100 have been selected as the sample group. In addition, it was concluded that quantitative research methods were chosen in the related articles, quantitative analyzes were made, and questionnaires and scales were preferred more as data collection tools. It is thought that the results obtained from the study will be useful in terms of detecting the strengths and deficiencies of the studies conducted in this subject area and may guide future studies in terms of seeing the tendency of studies on mathematical problem solving from a holistic perspective.
