Özet:

The aim of this study is to reveal the experiences and opinions of teachers regarding the perception of privacy violation and digital surveillance that emerged during the distance and digital education activities that became widespread with the Covid-19 outbreak. In this context, Turkey's different geographical areas and data with semi-structured interview technique to teach a total of 24 workers in the province were obtained. In this study, the holistic single case design, which is included in the qualitative research approach, was used. Content analysis was used to analyze the research. Among the prominent findings, it is seen that concerns about privacy among teachers increased during this process. The fact that teacher-student relationships and dialogues, which should remain in the classroom, ie in the public sphere, become open to everyone who watches also negatively affect the perception of professional privacy. In addition, alienation from the profession, high anxiety, uneasiness, anxiety caused by being observed, and interference of families in the process are also included. It is also seen that distance education loses the enthusiasm of teaching in the teaching profession. It is understood from the findings that monitoring has turned into an element of pressure for teachers. Strengthening professional privacy awareness is considered important in this process. The fact that the study was limited to only teachers and no interviews were made with students or families can be considered as a limitation in the study.
