Moreover, besides studying these issues, it is essential to reveal the current situation in relation to the existing studies in terms of content, method and analysis in leading further studies. The purpose of this study is to perform a general analysis of the theses and articles on environmental education, which were published between 2000-2016. A total of 47 national theses and 39 articles published in the journals within SSCI were analyzed as part of this study.
