The teacher is indispensable in a successful education system. In the changing context of education, one of the constant components is the importance of the teacher. The teacher takes mutual responsibilities with his students, colleagues and managers. The teacher helps to create a future compatible with change. In some cases, teachers may need help. It can be said that teachers need help in the Covid 19 pandemic. This study discusses the change in the teaching profession during Covid 19. The study is a literature review. As a result of the study, the support needs of teachers were determined under three headings: Resilience, instructionally and technologically.

Covid-19 Pandemisinde Öğretmenlik

Abstract

Öğretmen, başarılı bir eğitim sisteminde vazgeçilmezdir. Eğitimin değişen bağlamında değişmeyenlerden bir tanesi öğretmenin önemidir. Öğretmen, kendisi, öğrencileri, meslektaşları ve yöneticileri ile karşılıklı sorumluluklar üstlenmekte; değişimle uyumlu bir gelecek oluşturmaya yardımcı olmaktadır. Bazı değişim durumlarında ise öğretmenlerin yardıma ihtiyacı olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma Covid 19 sırasında karşılaşılan sorunlarla baş etmede öğretmenlerin desteklenmesini tartışmaktadır. Çalışma bir literatür taraması niteliğindedir. Çalışma sonucunda, öğretmenlerin güçlendirilmesi gerekliliği esneklik, öğretimsel ve teknolojik olmak üzere üç başlıkta temellendirilmektedir. Eğitimin geleceğinde öğretmen rolünün etkililiği, bu desteklerin geç olmadan sağlanmasına bağlıdır. Öğretmene yapılan yatırım, geleceğe yapılmaktadır.
