OBJECTIVE BEHAVIORS OF EDUCATION EMPLOYEES DURING THE PANDEMIC PROCESS

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine the oppositional behaviors exhibited by teachers
during the pandemic process. For this purpose, teachers' exhibiting vertical, horizontal and
displaced oppositional behaviors and the reasons for these behaviors were examined. The research
was conducted in qualitative research design. The study group of the research consists of 40
teachers determined by maximum diversity sampling method. Teachers' gender, professional
seniority and the type of school they work in were determined as difference areas. The data
obtained within the scope of the study were analyzed by content analysis method. The answers
given by the participants to the questions directed to them were coded and themes were determined
with the codes created. The findings were examined in three themes: oppositional behaviors caused
by school administration, oppositional behaviors caused by ministry and oppositional behaviors
caused by personal attitude. Some of the findings of the study were that teachers with more
professional seniority evaluated the school administration as unsuccessful and their dissatisfaction
with the practices of the ministry was higher.
