Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the trends in scientific studies conducted on the use of the Education Informatics Network (EBA) in Turkish language education with respect to various variables. In this qualitative study, the document analysis method was employed. Relevant studies indexed in DergiPark, Scopus, Google Scholar, and the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education were systematically analyzed. The obtained data were evaluated through descriptive analysis based on publication year, research methods, data collection tools, and subject distribution. In this process, the studies were categorized and comparatively interpreted. According to the findings, the number of articles increased notably in 2018 and 2020, while postgraduate studies showed a more balanced distribution over the years. It was observed that most of the studies were single-authored, although two-authored studies also constituted a significant portion. Advisor titles in postgraduate theses were found to be evenly distributed. In terms of subject matter, most studies focused on EBA content analysis and evaluation, while studies related to distance education and curriculum were also prominent. On the other hand, issues such as the general use of EBA and digital transformation were addressed to a limited extent. Regarding data collection tools, document analysis was the most commonly used method, followed by interviews and questionnaires.
