Abstract

In the research, it is aimed to examine the behavior of school principals regarding crisis management according to teachers' views. Five sub-problems were created in line with the general purpose of the research. In the research, "screening model", one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The universe of the research consists of teachers working in public schools. The sample of the study consists of 275 teachers who were determined by the "Simple Random Sampling" method among the teachers working in public schools. Two data collection tools were used to collect data in the study. The first is the "Personal Information Form" to learn the personal information of the teachers, and the second is the "Crisis Management Scale". The Personal Information Form includes questions about teachers' gender, educational background and professional seniority. The data collected in the research were processed into the SPSS 25. Package program. After the data were processed into the SPSS 25.0 program, the data were analyzed with the "mean", "standard deviation", "Independent Samples t-Test" and "One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)" tests, considering the sub-problems of the research. In the research, it has been determined that there is a difference between the opinions of teachers in the evaluation process of the crisis management behaviors of school principals according to the variables of professional seniority and education status.
