The sample of the research was determined by using the purposive sampling method, consists of postgraduate open access theses made in Turkey between the years 2010-2020. The data of the study were collected with the Postgraduate Thesis Examining Forms Containing Learning Disabilities in Pre-School and Primary School, which was developed by the researcher. The results of the research show that the survey model is generally used as the research model in the postgraduate theses with learning disabilities in preschool and primary school were mostly carried out between 2015-2019, most of which were master's theses. While the results of the research generally focus on teacher competencies and the problems encountered in the teaching process, there are very few experimental studies aimed at eliminating the problems. In this context, studies on teaching models can be done in order to minimize the problems encountered. Studies can be carried out to increase the competencies of teachers about learning disability education and students' competencies for preschool and primary school teachers. In addition, with the mixed method in which quantitative and qualitative methods are used together, it can be ensured that teacher competencies are revealed in a more reliable and realistic way.
