A systematic review of the studies on the 5E and 7E models in mathematics education in Türkiye

In this study, it is aimed to outline the general trends and results of the theses and articles on learning cycles in the field of mathematics education in Türkiye. For the purpose, systematic examinations were carried out by following the steps of the PRISMA Protocol on 45 graduate theses, 18 articles accessed between 2008 and 2022. In the analysis of the publications, descriptive content analysis and content analysis. According to the results of the study, it was observed that the most graduate theses were published in 2019, the most articles were published in 2019 and 2021 and most of the publications were in Turkish. The most frequently used in the publications is the 5E Model; the most frequently studied topics belonging to the learning areas of numbers and operations, geometry and measurement and algebra, intensively studied topics are fractions, polygons, natural numbers, algebraic expressions, equations, circle, transformation geometry, lesson plan preparation, identities and determining opinions about the model. Quantitative method is generally used more in theses and qualitative method is used more in articles; experimental design is preferred more in theses belonging to qualitative method; when the publications are analyzed according to their results, it is seen that models provide positive contributions to students in both affective, cognitive and social areas; participants reported positive views on models but there are also participants who reported negative views; in addition, it has been determined that most of the teachers and teacher candidates have limited or low levels of knowledge on this subject.
