Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the research tendency in the studies on the views of teachers on the chemistry course curriculum in Turkey between the years 2007-2022. As a result of the examination carried out according to the criteria determined for this purpose, a total of 49 scientific studies, 19 of which were postgraduate theses and 30 of which were research articles, were reached.
