Özet:

This is a meta-synthesis of studies that used chemistry textbooks approved by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE). The study was carried out using the document review method, one of the qualitative research designs, and involved 32 articles and 36 theses published between 2001-2020 that had been selected based on the criteria specified. The data were collected using the "coding form", and the frequency values were evaluated in depth and presented in tables and a graph. The study revealed that in Turkey, most of the studies that used chemistry textbooks were in 2010 and 2011 and that the studies mostly used qualitative research methods. It was also found out that the textbooks purpose was highest frequency "to examine the characteristics of the textbooks", and that the units/topics examined in the chemistry textbooks were very diverse. It is thought that the results obtained within the scope of the study will serve as a guide for the researchers who will use chemistry textbooks in their future studies.
