In this study, a phenomenological design from qualitative research patterns was used in order to thoroughly explore what the teachers’ perceptions about the subject of renewable energy are. The sample approach was used to identify the 18 instructors who form the research group. The study used a semi-configured conversation form to collect data. The data of the research is analyzed by content analysis. According to the results of the research, participants were focused on renewable energy sources and their opinions about these sources. Solar energy and wind energy are the most known and first-minded energy varieties. Participants pay attention to the advantages of renewable energy sources, such as being clean, environmental, continuous and economical. The disadvantages include factors such as the high initial installation costs, the production is interrupted depending on geographical and weather conditions and the variation. According to the general opinion of the researchers, renewable energy resources play an important role in sustainable development, reduce external energy dependency and need to be invested in future generations. Furthermore, the spread of renewable energy will reduce environmental pollution, increase economic returns and lower operating costs.

In this study, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used to examine in depth what teachers' perceptions about renewable energy are. Purposive sampling approach was used to determine the 18 instructors who constituted the research group. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect data. The data of the research were analyzed by content analysis. According to the results of the study, the participants focused on renewable energy resources and their thoughts about these resources. Solar energy and wind energy were mentioned as the most well-known and the first energy types that came to mind. Participants emphasized the advantages of renewable energy sources such as being clean, environmentally friendly, continuous and economical. Disadvantages include high initial installation costs, intermittency and variability of production depending on geography and weather conditions. According to the general opinion of the respondents, renewable energy sources play an important role in sustainable development, reduce foreign energy dependency and should be invested in future generations. In addition, benefits such as reduced environmental pollution, increased economic returns and reduced operating costs were also emphasized with the spread of renewable energy.
