Abstract :A document analysis was used in this study to examine Turkish theses/dissertations on probability and statistics.126 graduate theses/dissertations were analyzed by subjecting them to both content and descriptive analysis. According to the findings, theses/dissertations were not distributed evenly by publication year. The majority of theses/dissertations were written in the learning area of statistics. There was a great deal of interest in the keyword \`probability\`. Most of the theses/dissertations examined how teaching practices affected the development of components. A large amount of research was conducted using quantitative methods. Most of the students in the study were middle schoolers, with the sample group ranging from 0 to 100 people at most. There was greater use of technology-supported teaching environments than other teaching environments. Both students and teachers exhibited misconceptions and a lack of knowledge regarding statistics and probability. Because of the teaching practices that were fulfilled, students\` performance increased significantly.
