This study is a qualitative exploration of the perceptions of primary
school teachers of their supervisors using metaphors. Data in this study was obtained from interviews
with 106
classroom teachers who had been supervised at least once. They worked at schools
in Istanbul during the 2015-2016 academic year in the following districts:
Esenler, Küçükçekmece, Başakşehir, Kartal, and Bağcılar. Interviews
were coded and analyzed using the content analysis technique. The metaphors
teachers used to describe supervisors could be grouped into the following categories:
profession, sports, family, fear, food, animals, guidance, and objects. Results
show that primary school teachers have mostly negative perceptions of
supervisors, which agrees with other studies. To address this, we recommend
improving communication between teachers and supervisors.
