Özet:

The purpose of this research is to reveal the views of history teachers working in BİLSEMs about their working conditions. The descriptive model was adopted in this study, in which the qualitative research method was used. In this perspective, the present study was conducted with 27 history teachers working in BİLSEMs in various cities in Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic year. The research data were collected with the help of semi-structured open-ended questions prepared by the researchers. The data obtained from the research were analyzed by descriptive analysis. When the results of the study were examined, it was seen that the most important problem of the history teachers in the sample was that the administrators were not assigned to BİLSEMs with the appropriate appointment procedures and that the students attended their normal school and BİLSEM education at the same time. As for the history lesson, the participants shared the view that history lesson is an underestimated lesson and stated that this is the reason why administrators, families and students do not consider history as a science. When the results of the research are evaluated in general, it is possible to say that the teachers in the sample are happy to be in the institution despite the deficiencies in their working conditions, are willing to continue working at BİLSEM, and the steps to be taken to meet their expectations will contribute to their motivation and efficiency.
