Abstract

On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes called the disaster of the century occurred in Türkiye. These earthquakes affected education as well as every aspect of life. This research was conducted to investigate the effects of earthquakes on teachers, students, and the education system through the eyes of teachers who experienced the earthquake. The participants of the study consisted of sixteen teachers working in Hatay province, which was most affected by the earthquakes. The data were obtained through online interviews with semi-structured questions and analyzed with interpretative phenomenological analysis. In addition, Kübler-Ross's theory of mourning was used in the study. According to the results of the research, earthquakes affected teachers' private lives psychologically and physically. Earthquakes have both positive and negative effects on teachers' professional lives. Participating teachers think that earthquakes affect education in three dimensions: "teacher", "student", and "education system". After the earthquake, teachers question and criticize the practices of the Ministry of National Education in terms of teacher, student, and system. According to Kübler-Ross's theory of grief, it has been determined that teachers experience the stages of denial, anger, bargaining and depression, but are not yet at the stage of acceptance. In conclusion, this research contributes to the literature by revealing the personal and professional experiences of teachers who experienced the earthquake, their working conditions, and their strategies for coping with post-earthquake situations. I can say that to increase the welfare of the society after the disaster, state institutions, especially the Ministry of National Education, should take urgent measures and be multidimensionally prepared for disasters.
