Abstract

The number of female teachers in the Ministry of National Education is higher than the number of male teachers. When looking at the number of men and women in school administration, the situation is exactly the opposite. The aim of this research is to determine the problems faced by female school administrators working in the Ministry of National Education and to determine the views of female school administrators regarding these problems. This research was carried out using the phenomenology research design, one of the qualitative research designs. The participants of this research consist of 10 female school administrators selected according to the criterion sampling technique, one of the purposeful sampling methods. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect data. The researchers interviewed with the participants by phone due to pandemic conditions in 2020-2021 academic year. The obtained data was analyzed with descriptive analysis techniques. When the data obtained was examined, it was found that female school administrators saw school management as a coordinating process and gave importance to cooperation. According to the findings of this research, female school administrators cannot spare enough time for themselves and their families. In addition, it was determined that female school administrators had problems with teachers, parents, and students. Finally, based on the findings obtained, some suggestions were made by the researchers, such as training female school administrators on effective use of time, informing school personnel about gender discrimination, and arranging the working hours of female school administrators.
