Abstract:

 The main purpose of this research is to examine the crisis management capacity of the Ministry of National Education at the central and local level on the example of the Covid-19 process, based on the opinions of school principals and teachers. The research was designed as a qualitative phenomenological study using the interview technique. The participants of the research consist of 20 school principals and 20 teachers. Maximum diversity sampling method was used to determine the study group. The data was collected in Kırıkkale province in the 2021-2022 academic year. Research data obtained through semi-structured interviews were examined using descriptive analysis. It is important to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the crisis management process with its strengths and weaknesses in order to accurately identify the lessons to be learned from the crisis and turn the crisis into a development opportunity. The research shows that there are some management weaknesses in the management of the Covid-19 epidemic crisis due to technical inadequacies and infrastructure inadequacies, and that there are significant difficulties, especially in the management of the distance education process. Accordingly, by teachers and administrators; Criticisms such as the closure of schools during the crisis, the inadequacy of technical and content support in distance education, the number of courses and the intensity of their achievements, the length of the course periods, and the lack of measurement and evaluation are emphasized. It is understood that the Ministry of National Education had difficulty in convincing school principals and teachers about some of the measures taken in Covid-19 crisis management, and therefore, decision processes that would ensure that some radical measures taken in the adaptation of traditional education processes to the new situation received sufficient support at the school level could not be implemented and a strong communication management could not be carried out. Keywords: Crisis, crisis management, school management, Covid-19.

 Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, okul müdürleri ve öğretmenlerin görüşlerine dayalı olarak Milli Eğitim Bakanlığının kriz yönetimi kapasitesini Covid-19 süreci örneği üzerinde merkezi ve yerel düzeyde incelemektir. Araştırma, görüşme tekniğinin kullanıldığı nitel bir olgu bilim çalışması olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını, 20 okul müdürü ve 20 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veriler 2021- 2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Kırıkkale ilinde toplanmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla elde edilen araştırma verileri betimsel analiz kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Krizden çıkarılması gereken derslerin doğru bir şekilde tanımlanması ve krizin bir gelişim fırsatına dönüştürülebilmesi için kriz yönetim sürecinin güçlü ve zayıf yönleri ile kapsamlı bir değerlendirmesinin yapılması önem taşımaktadır. Araştırmada Covid-19 salgın krizinin yönetiminde teknik yetersizliklere ve alt yapı yetersizliklerine bağlı olarak bazı yönetim zafiyetleri oluştuğu, özellikle uzaktan eğitim sürecinin yönetiminde önemli güçlükler yaşandığı görülmektedir. Buna göre öğretmen ve yöneticiler tarafından; kriz sürecinde okulların kapatılması, uzaktan eğitimde teknik desteğin ve içerik desteğinin yetersiz kalması, ders sayısı ve kazanımlarının yoğunluğu, ders sürelerinin uzunluğu, ölçme ve değerlendirme eksikliği gibi eleştiriler vurgulanmaktadır. Milli Eğitim Bakanlığının Covid-19 kriz yönetiminde aldığı bazı tedbirlere okul müdürleri ve öğretmenleri ikna etmekte güçlük çektiği, bu nedenle geleneksel eğitim süreçlerinin yeni duruma adaptasyonunda alınan bazı radikal tedbirlerin okul düzeyinde yeterince destek görmesini sağlayacak karar süreçlerinin işletilemediği ve güçlü bir iletişim yönetimi yürütülemediği anlaşılmaktadır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Kriz, kriz yönetimi, okul yönetimi, Covid-19.
