Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine the professional problems of teachers working in imam-hatip (religious vocational) high schools. The research is designed according to the phenomenological approach, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 58 teachers working in Ankara and was determined by maximum diversity sampling among purposive qualitative research sampling methods. The data obtained from the interviews analyzed with Miles-Huberman model which is one of the qualitative data analysis methods. According to the results of the research, the first five themes that teachers identified as problems were: “Religious education, teachers, students, school administrators and senior management problems”. The fact that this study deals with teachers' professional problems in religious education literature and presents qualified scientific data on various and many problems experienced in schools emphasizes the importance of this research. It is hoped that this study, which aims to attract the attention of policy makers and religious circles regarding the professional problems encountered in imam-hatip high schools, will close an important gap in the literature and arouse interest on the subject.
