Trends of studies in realistic mathematics education between 2000-2022: A systematic review study

Realistic Mathematics Education approach has been appeared in Netherlands and since has been surveyed by researchers in some countries. Through the time, numbers of the studies have risen and due to this rise, being able to see these studies disposition has gotten harder. In this research it is aimed to make an evaluation of the studies of Realistic Math Education approach during the years 2000-2022. The data group of this systematic compilation study has scanned ERIC, ESCI and SSCI and it consists of 98 selected essays with certain criterias that have been published in 2000-2022 years. The acquired knowledge from the selected essays are recorded with submission forms which have previously been prepared which are goal ariented. With these recorded informations, years, countries of studies, researches methods and patterns, sample groups and magnitudes, collecting data tools, learning and sub-learning spaces, topic compilation, aim-result are analiyzed by descriptive analysis technique. The acquired findings are presented descriptively with frequency and percantage distribution. According to the result of analysis, it is concluded that studies are mostly published in Indonesia, qualitative researches are preferred rather than other methods, the most used sample distance is 1-50, as sample group secondary school education is selected, numbers and process learning area is wide in primary classes and mostly teaching model/sequence improving/test are applied for topic compilation. When the studies results are analyzed it sis concluded that GME research has increased students academic success, improved their concept of understanding, their self strategies, self sufficiency, self motivation, mathematical communication, creative thinking. It can be said that both teachers and teacher candidates have positive attitudes towards GME. In this research the inadequacies of studies are defined. GME studies can be widen in secondary school education. The mentioned study can be compared with different approaches.
