Abstract
Teachers, students, principals, vice principals, servants and civil servants are people who contribute to the educational environment of a school and increase its quality. In addition, another title that teachers utilize in maintaining their own classroom order and meeting the needs is the institution of classroom motherhood.
Although its existence and job description are not included in the legislation, and even official articles have been written to erase such a title, classroom motherhood continues to exist. Although classroom motherhood provides important contributions to teachers and school management, it also brings important problems to the agenda. In this context, the aim of this research is to bring up the purpose and function of classroom motherhood from the perspective of classroom teachers and school administrators to present suggestions and perspectives on the possible benefits and problems of classroom motherhood and what should be done. The research was carried out according to a qualitative research case study pattern. The study group of the research consists of 32 classroom teachers, 15 principals and vice principals. The data collection tools of the study are the questionnaires applied to the teachers and school administrators and the interview form prepared for the classroom teachers. Content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis methods, was applied to the obtained data. The study reveals that although it brings many problems with it, classroom motherhood is a very important and functional structure for both teachers and school administrators.
