holistic approach. Graduate theses about authentic learning reached from the Turkish Council of
Higher Education (CoHE) National Thesis Center Database were examined in this study. Thirtyone
of these theses were included in the research. The study, with its qualitative research
approach, was carried out by synthesizing the findings determined by thematic content analysis.
The findings showed that authentic learning was mostly used on an activity basis in the studies.
Thus the studies aimed to examine authentic learning’s effect on the relevant variables. The
findings showed that while the dependent variables were investigated in the quantitative
dimension, especially the skills were examined in the qualitative dimension. They also revealed
that the studies focused on Science Education much, adopted mixed approaches, used purposeful
and random sampling types, and run especially qualitative data analysis in data analysis. The
findings also indicated that the average duration of the studies was eight weeks, trip and
brainstorming were among the most used teaching techniques, the discussion was extensively
used among the methods, and scenario-based learning was used most among the approaches. It
was observed that mostly forms, then performance evaluation and scales, and then tests were
adopted as measurement - evaluation tools, and the results obtained were mostly positive in these
studies.
