As technology is an integral part of our lives, research on education and teaching technologies is rapidly concentrated. The research and research technology has been discussed in many ways, and these studies have an importance for the implementation of the results. With the study of the articles and the theses published in the field, the scope of the studies, the strengths and weaknesses are determined; a significant gap is filled in what kind of studies may be needed in the future. There are many works in literature that are done for this purpose. However, as similar studies on educational technologies have lost their up-to-date, this study seems important to combine current research trends and results. The aim of this study is to study the subjects of the postgraduate thesis in the field of educational technologies and teaching technologies in a thematic and methodological perspective. The work is designed by adopting the status study from the research models. The sample for the graduate theses to be taken into the scope of the study has not been determined and is intended to reach the entire universe. In this context, the Higher Education Thesis Data Base has been achieved through the theses published in the last five years. In the scan of the theses, the keywords "educational technologies" and "educational technologies" were used. The scan resulted in 190 theses achieved, and 148 theses taken into the work range that meets the working criteria. In the collection of data, the researchers created the thesis review form used and the data collected was analyzed using content analysis. The findings obtained were addressed in subtitles parallel to research problems. The study found that the number of undergraduate theses in general has decreased, the research methods and statistics have experienced conceptual confusion, the lack of information has resulted in the use of incorrect methods and statistics.

As technology is an indispensable part of our lives, it is known that researches on educational and instructional technologies have intensified rapidly. In the studies, educational and instructional technologies are discussed in many ways, and these studies are essential in terms of putting the results into practice. By examining articles and theses published in the field, the scope, strengths, and weaknesses of the studies are determined; an important gap is filled in what future studies may be needed. There are many studies conducted in line with this purpose. However, since similar studies dealing with educational technologies have lost their timeliness, this study is considered important in terms of combining current research trends and results. The aim of this study is to examine thematic and methodological aspects of theses on educational and instructional technologies. The study was designed as a case study. The sample was not determined for theses to be included in the study, and it was aimed to reach the entire population. In this context, theses published in the last five years have been reached through the Higher Education Thesis Database. Keywords of “educational technologies” and “instructional technologies” have been used in the process. As a result of the scanning process, 190 theses were reached, and 148 theses, which are in accordance with the criteria of the study were included in the study. Data were collected by the researchers and analyzed by using content analysis. The findings are discussed in the sub-headings in parallel with the research problems. In the study, it is concluded that there is a decrease in the number of graduate theses and the conceptual confusion in terms of research methods and statistics
