Abstract:

Theses are largely a reflection of the inclinations and mental tastes of students that take shape during the period of university education. The formation of the problem is one of the major categories of this type of research document. The main objective of writing this article is to examine the contents of the theses, thematic trends, research methods, and the trend and ratio of using Persian to Latin sources. The 'content analysis' method has been used in this research. The questions of this research are: 1- What are the basic topics in the field of curriculum? 2- What is the status of the examined theses in the field of curriculum at the respective universities based on their research topic? 3- What similarities and differences do the examined theses in the field of curriculum at the respective universities and the articles of the Curriculum Studies Association have based on their research topic? 4- What is the research method used in the theses of the respective universities? 5- What is the trend and ratio of using Persian to Latin sources in the theses of the respective universities? The thematic dispersion in the theses of the curriculum planning field was inappropriate; the most prominent approach was quantitative and the most prominent research method was descriptive-survey. Given the growing use of Latin sources in compiling theses, this issue has become one of the scientific norms among students. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that in graduate theses, more attention has been paid to some topics and less attention to others, which could be influenced by factors such as the expertise of the supervisor, course syllabi, and unawareness of up-to-date topics.
