Views of Teachers with a Twenty-Year Seniority Difference on the Teaching Profession
Seniority Difference on the Teaching Profession
Abstract
This study examines teachers' views with a twenty-year seniority difference on the teaching profession and the education system. The research was conducted using the qualitative research method, and the phenomenological design was used. The study group consists of teachers 50 years old and above and 30 years old and below, who have a twenty-year seniority difference. In-depth opinions were obtained using a semi-structured interview form during the data collection process. The obtained data were examined using content and descriptive analysis methods. One of the striking results of the research is that seniority difference significantly affects teacher perceptions. While teachers 50 years old and above emphasized the prestige and value of the teaching profession in the past and have a more negative view of the education system, teachers 30 years old and below expressed their discomfort with the current situation. These findings show that there are adverse changes in the perceptions of teachers in the education system.
