Abstract:

 This study aimed to investigate the perspectives of teachers and academics who are also parents regarding remote education during the COVID-19 pandemic, including their perceptions of family communication and job satisfaction. Participants were 938 teachers and academics who taught remotely and had children undergoing remote education during the 2020-2021 academic year. A 51-item questionnaire and the Job Satisfaction Scale adapted into Turkish culture Keser and Öngen-Bilir, 2019 were used to collect data. Study data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, as well as chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. Results showed that while participants experienced difficulties in their childrens participation in remote learning, they utilized various resources, including print and online materials. Both teachers and academics expressed a preference for face-to-face education. Participants reported challenges such as time constraints, difficulties in balancing work and family responsibilities, and technical issues related to remote learning. Despite these challenges, educators job satisfaction levels were above average. No statistical difference was found in job satisfaction according to most demographic and occupational variables.

 Bu çalışma ile öğretmen ve akademisyen olan velilerin hem kendi açılarından hem de çocukları açısından uzaktan eğitim süreci ve bu süreçte algıladıkları aile içi iletişimleri hakkındaki görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca, eğitimcilerin bu süreçteki iş doyum düzeyleri ve bunların demografik ve mesleki değişkenlere göre farklılaşma durumları da incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın katılımcıları, 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılında uzaktan eğitimle ders verip ebeveynliğinde bulunan çocuğuçocukları uzaktan eğitim alan 938 öğretmen ve akademisyendir. Veri toplama aracı olarak 51 maddelik anket formu ile Keser ve Öngen-Bilir 2019 tarafından Türk kültürüne uyarlanan İş Tatmini Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler ve grafiklere ek olarak ki-kare testi, bağımsız gruplar t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizinden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucu, eğitimcilerin çocuklarının nadiren de olsa derse katılımında sorun yaşadıklarını göstermiştir. Eğitimcilerin bu süreçte zaman kısıtlamaları, iş ve aile sorumluluklarını dengelemede yaşanan zorluklar ve uzaktan öğrenmeyle ilgili teknik sorunlar gibi zorluklar yaşadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşın, çalışmada eğitimcilerin iş tatmin düzeylerinin ortalamanın üstünde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Demografik ve mesleki değişkenlerin çoğuna göre iş tatmininde istatistiksel bir fark bulunamamıştır.
