Özet
Teaching as a profession requires professional training, knowledge, hands-on practice,\rcertain competences to raise individuals who will shape the future of the society. Therefore,\rteachers should adopt key roles for societal transformation. In this study, we aimed to explore\rthe meaning of teaching profession based on teachers’ professional experiences. We adopted\ra phenomenological research design focusing on the experiences of the participants and the\rphenomena that result from their experiences. The participants are 50 teachers working at\rprimary, secondary and high schools in Turkey. We collected the data using a semi-structured\rinterview form and we used inductive content analysis. At the end of the analysis, two themes\remerged “teacher as a professional” and “teacher as a technician”. The results of the study\rwill be of importance to raise awareness about these two major concepts in teaching\rprofession and help us rethink the current roles of teachers for the society.
