In this study, it was aimed to determine what topics the recent “Literacy Education” studies in Turkey focus on, and to reveal the topics that are deemed important in the field, but not sufficiently studied. The basic qualitative research method has been adopted in the study, and by using purposeful sampling method, 18 Literacy Education scholars with professor title were reached, that are the professors, who work in the Elementary Education department of the universities in Turkey. The data were collected through structured interview technique, through the online meetings conducted on Google Meet platform. 26 topics on Literacy Education that were determined by scanning the relevant literature were read to the participants one by one and the participants were asked whether these subjects were studied intensively in the field and whether it was necessary to work intensively from now on. The participants justified their answers on their will. The screen recordings were analyzed and the percentage-frequency values of the answers to the questions were determined first, and then the justifications for the answers were examined as a result of the content analysis performed on the screen recordings. As a result of the study, it was found that 15 of the 26 topics in the field of Literacy Education are not studied, but should be studied intensively. Although 11 topics are intensively studied in the field of Literacy Education, these topics should continue to be studied either because these are still hot topics, or because the dramatic changes in education conditions in the global epidemic, which is currently experienced.
