Teacher Turnover: A Continual Problem in Turkey
Turhan, Mehmet; Memduhoglu, Hasan Basri
Research in Pedagogy, v12 n1 p82-96 2022
This study aims to determine the reasons for teacher turnover in the Van province, Turkey, and correspondingly, to propose solutions according to teacher views. The research is based on Q Methodology, which is used to reveal organizations' typographies and to determine the issues on which the organization's members arrive at a consensus or disagree. It was determined that providing economic stimulus, together with precautions to eliminate safety concerns and transportation problems, increasing social, artistic, and cultural activities and giving extra service/precedence scores, will to some extent help to increase the average length of service for teachers working in Van. In addition, improvements related to teachers' working conditions will help to decrease teacher turnover and related problems. Regulations to decrease teacher turnover are recommended with the aim of encouraging teachers to work in turnover regions instead of keeping them in certain other working regions.
