Reflexivity in Social Sciences in Türkiye: Methodological Reflections and Applications

Reflexivity, especially in recent years, has become one of the most discussed concepts in qualitative research methodology. Although reflexivity can be a challenging endeavor, its significance makes it indispensable for qualitative research methodology. In this article, as authors, we aimed to comprehensively address the concept of reflexivity by examining articles accessed through DergiPark in the field of social sciences in Türkiye. In this regard, we discussed the methodological contributions of reflexivity, its connection with subjectivity and positionality, its role in facilitating the sharing of experiences, and its importance in maintaining research ethics. With this article, we seek to offer new perspectives on the subject through the example of Türkiye, contribute to scientific discourse, and support the advancement of the academic discussion environment.
