Özet:

With this study, it is aimed to examine the graduate thesis studies published in Turkey on the education of Roma children. A total of 13 thesis studies published in 2004-2022 were reached in the study where document analysis was preferred, one of the qualitative research methods. These were scanned from the YÖK thesis centre database. All 13 theses was a master's thesis and the doctoral thesis on the subject was not identified. 9 of the theses were qualitative and 4 of them were carried out by quantitative research methods. While only 4 theses were conducted until 2010, the publication of 9 theses since 2010 shows that the issue is cared about by academic circles. It is seen that authors focus on problems in the field, suggestions, and the opinions of teachers, students, and families. Another finding is that female researchers are more willing to research the subject. As a result of the studies examined, it is suggested that the researchers and teachers publish theses and articles abroad, research about the Roma children who do not attend school age by focusing on their social life make biography studies on important people of Roma origin, produce projects that will increase the quality of Roma children and their continuation of the school. Moreover, it can be recommended that they prepare training programs that facilitate compliance with Roma children's school culture, and give families informative seminars that will provide more active participation in their children's education life.
