Abstract :The main aim of this study is to analyze the teaching methods and techniques in Turkish educational literature. Thus, 96 books that directly focus on teaching methods and techniques were examined using the document analysis method. The study found that there is a multitude of teaching methods and techniques in the literature (62 methods, 371 techniques), there is confusion in distinguishing between a teaching method and technique, there is no universally applicable criterion for every situation to differentiate between them, and there are teaching methods and techniques with unclear and ambiguous implementation steps. Based on the interpretation of the findings, the following recommendations are made: 1. The findings of the present study can be utilized in determining the content of the Teaching Principles and Methods course. 2. Studies can be conducted to clearly define the terms teaching method and teaching technique, and to establish criterion or criteria which will clarify the distinction between them. 3. Further research can focus on identifying the criteria that a practice must meet to deserve the status of a teaching method or teaching technique.
