Determination of the Relationship Between Teacher Problems and School Success

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine what the teacher problems are in different dimensions and to find out if there is a relationship between teacher problems and school achievement. For this purpose, it has been tried to determine how the teacher problems differ according to the variables such as gender, seniority, title, school level, branch and type of school. The research includes teachers who work in primary, secondary and high schools. The scale used as the data collection tool of the survey contains 35 items in total under five main headings. In the questionnaire, short answer questions were added under five headings prepared in the form of likert with a total of 106 items, which were expressed in the press, councils and scientific studies, and it was distributed to the 28 teachers. By analyzing the information gathered from the 28 teachers, the researcher tried to develop a scale of 50 items by combining similar subjects covered under different headings. The developed scale was reapplied in a school with 22 teachers and then factor analysis was performed on these 50 items. Expressions with low item scores were removed and it was finalized as a 35-item scale.  The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient for the 50-item scale was found to be 0.82, and the reliability studies weren’t conducted for the new scale. The scale continues to be applied at the moment. The obtained information will be analyzed in the light of research sub-problems after the implementation process.
