The aim of this research is to examine the trends of the studies that address the education-training dimension of
creativity in Turkey. The research was conducted using a qualitative research pattern. The data was collected and
analyzed through document analysis. In the analysis of the data, the thesis analysis form developed by the
researchers was used. One hundred and forty-five graduate theses studied between 2005 and 2019 in the field of
education, which were allowed access by their authors, constitute the study group of this research. 114 of these
works consist of graduate theses and 31 of them consist of doctoral theses. The graduate theses in the Council of
Higher Education database were examined under a total of 10 titles according to their distribution over the
years-educational levels, university distributions, institute distributions, branch distributions, methods and
sub-methods, data collection tools, sampling/study groups, sampling methods, education level of the study group and
thesis titles. As a result of the research, it was observed that although studies addressing the educational-educational
dimension of creativity have increased at a certain level over the years, they are not at the desired point and have not
been studied adequately. In addition, it was determined that the studies carried out in terms of the discipline, the
methods used and the variety of topics studied had similarities, that no studies on creativity were conducted in some
departments, that the study group usually consists of a single level of education, that this situation does not allow to
look at creativity from a broad perspective, and that there are many aspects of creativity that have not been studied
for those who will work in the educational dimension.
