The purpose of this study is to reveal quantitative and qualitative studies published in Turkey.

It does not intend to put a blame on positivism. On the contrary, it discusses, though briefly, the reasons for positivist tradition’s ignoring qualitative design, valued by positivism. The study does not have a specific theoretical basis. Thus, it should be mentioned that the study does not aim to “see”, but to “look”.
