A Comparative Examination of Turkey's Teacher Profile with OECD Countries

Summary/Abstract: This study was carried out to examine Turkey's place and development among OECD countries in terms of teacher profiles. In this study, data was collected through document analysis, and OECD's Education at a Glance indicators and TALIS 2018 research results were used. As a result of the research, it has been determined that teachers in Turkey are younger than the OECD average and the percentage of older teachers is lower. The percentage of female teachers in Turkey is lower than the OECD average at all levels except for higher education. It has been understood that the ratio of students to teaching staff is higher than the OECD average at all levels except for secondary education in Turkey. Teachers' salaries in Turkey are below the OECD average at all levels, and as teachers gain experience, their salaries fall further below the OECD average. The majority of teachers in Turkey have a bachelor's degree and the ratio of teachers with master's and doctorate degrees is lower than the OECD average. Only 72% of teachers in Turkey think that the professional development activities they participate in have a positive effect on their teaching practices. While only 26% of teachers in Turkey think that their profession is valuable in society, 89% of teachers are generally satisfied with their jobs.
