Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine the academic reading experiences of graduate students of Turkish education. The study's data is provided in the context of the principles of the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. The information has been collected through depth IMterview with 20 students who have studied postgraduate in Turkish education at different universities and determined by the criterion-sampling approach. The context analysis principles have been used to analyze the data. There is evidence that graduate students favor reading academic articles and theses. The project and evaluation essays have been taken out of this class. Additionally, they searched the findings, discussion, and conclusion parts of academic literature for important information. They used this material by quoting, highlighting, marking, recording, taking notes, and crafting their phrases to represent it. However, it has been shown that students struggle with issues including reading various academic sources, identifying important information, comprehending academic language, and synthesizing data from several sources. In this context, in order for students to have academic reading skills at the graduate level, academic reading courses should be offered at the master's level and advanced academic reading courses should be offered at the doctoral level.
