Özet:

The aim of this research is to identify the trends of the studies carried out in Turkey between 2004 and 2022 regarding the use of educational games in teaching primary school mathematics according to several variables. The data of the study carried out by content analysis method has been obtained by scanning ULAKBİLİM TR index, Google Academic, Turkish education index, ASOS index, Dissertation Center of the Higher Education Council and Proquest Open Access databases. The data has been collected from the full text of a total of 38 publications, of which 20 postgraduate theses, 16 articles published in peer-reviewed journals, and 2 papers presented at the congress and published in a book. The "Publication Classification Form" developed by Sözbilir and Kutu (2008) was used for the analysis of the collected data. Dissertations and articles based on the data obtained have been classified under nine headings as publication year, purpose, variable, game type, learning area, method, sample group, data collection tool and data analysis techniques. The data obtained were analyzed according to the classifications specified in the form, interpreted based on frequency and presented in graphics. It has been found as a result of the analyzes that the number of studies is not much according to the publication year, the variables such as achievement, attitude and memorability are preferred according to the purpose, success / achievement variables are discussed mostly, the studies on physical games are more intense, the highest number of studies are on the "numbers and operations", the quantitative research method was used mostly, the majority of the students were the sample group, the achievement test is frequently used as the data collection tool and the predictive analysis technique is used as the data analysis technique
