Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal teachers' metaphorical perceptions regarding the determination of primary school 1st grade branches and classroom teachers through the e-school system. The study group in the research consists of primary school teachers working in the central district of Batman province in the 2024-2025 academic year. In the study, qualitative data collection design through metaphors, one of the qualitative research methods, was employed in defining and explaining the metaphors uttered by primary school teachers based on the expression ‘determination of primary school 1st grade branches and classroom teachers through the e-school system’. For the selection of the participants who will constitute the study group of the research, maximum diversity sampling method, one of purposeful sampling methods, was used. The data of the study were collected through a semi-structured metaphor form that included the statement ‘Determination of primary school 1st grade branches and classroom teachers through the e-school system is like ..............................because ........................’ Content analysis and descriptive analysis methods were used to analyse the data. At the end of the research, it was seen that the expression ‘Determination of primary school 1st grade branches and teachers through e-school system’ was expressed by teachers with 71 different metaphors. It was determined that 39 of these metaphors reflected positive, 7 negative and 25 both positive and negative perceptions. In addition, 8 different themes (Uncertainty, Diversity, Equivalence, Equality, Fairness, Convenience, Standardisation, Transparency) emerged according to the reasons expressed by the teachers while creating the metaphors and the similar characteristics of the metaphors. Teachers perceived ‘Determination of primary school 1st grade branches and teachers through e-school system’ as uncertainty the most. Following the theme of Uncertainty, the theme of Fairness and the themes of Equality and Diversity, respectively, are the themes perceived most by teachers. Based on these findings, suggestions regarding the review and evaluation of teachers' views on ‘Determination of primary school 1st grade branches and classroom teachers through the e-school system’ are presented.
