The Views of State Primary Schools’ Teachers about Their Working Conditions

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the views of teachers who work in state primary schools about their working conditions. The research was conducted in qualitative method. The study group was chosen by maximum variation sampling among teachers who work in Kepez, Antalya. The data were gathered by interviews using a semi-structured interview form. The data were analyzed using content analysis by NVivo 9 programme. As a result, seven categories were identified out of the analysis as social and economical facilities, working settings, the atmosphere about the value of teaching and teachers, promotion and awarding system, relations with management, relations with colleagues and environmental factors. Consequently, teachers stated that they do not have a positive perception about their working conditions. On the other hand, the results asserted that negative views about working conditions were dominated by the positive meaning attached to the profession by teachers themselves and by the society.
