Abstract :APOS, RBC, procept and abstraction theory with the students' knowledge creation  processes on researches, are examined in order to scan in National Thesis Center,  ULAKBİM, Google Scholar and papers in the symposium. A total of 27 postgraduate  thesis, 15 articles and 8 papers were included in the study. By using descriptive  content analysis method; the research was conducted by taking into consideration the  year-type-publication language, sample-number and sampling type, the preferred  topic and information creation theory in the research, the model-pattern and validityreliability used, data collection tools and data analysis methods. It was determined  that the most studies were conducted in 2018, and in the field of algebra learning  with numbers. Most of the studies were conducted at middle school level. Studies  were conducted with a small number of students in terms of sample numbers. In most  of the researches, qualitative models were preferred and mostly open-ended  questions, achievement tests, video and audio recordings as well as data diversity  were used for data collection. There were some deficiencies in the researches about  the validation and reliability of the studies with sampling methods. In order to  overcome these deficiencies, research methods courses given to the researches can  be made more effective.
