ABSTRACT
Reviewing completed research studies aids research ecosphere to provide a conclusive and reliable bibliography; and it confirms a comprehensive generalization on the conducted researches along mathematics education. It aimed to systematically review the completed graduate mathematics education researches in SUCs in Region I to see the complete picture of the conducted researches in the region. Specifically, the researcher classified and characterized the graduate mathematics education researches in the region and identified the effect sizes of the researches. The researcher made used of the descriptive-quantitative method of research to systematically review the completed theses and dissertations in mathematics education. Specifically, a meta-analysis was done in some portions of the review. The following are the findings of the study: (1) the determinants of mathematics achievement of students have the greatest number of researches conducted by graduate mathematics students from the years 2007 to 2016. (2) Most of the conducted researches used correlation method of research and had a small to very small effect size index. (3) As consequence of the findings, a research mapping and a proposed research direction were crafted by the researcher for mathematics education future researchers. The results of the study tell that every university in the country should comprehensively choose research topics, monitor and guide their students who are enrolled in the graduate programs to avoid over saturation to research topics especially in mathematics education. In the light of the findings and conclusions, the researcher recommended that the constructed proposed research mappings and directions should be used as guide in thinking what research area/s will be undertaken by future mathematics education researchers.
