Özet
The aim of this study is to determine teachers' professional image in Turkish school series on television. Teachers' professional image was analyzed under four categories as demographic characteristics, positive, negative and omitted image components. To this end, four school series broadcasted on different TV channels were analyzed. The TV series were obtained from the websites of the channels or they were downloaded from YouTube. The study was carried out as an ethnographic study which is one of the qualitative designs. Study materials were chosen through criterion sampling method. The first three episodes and main teacher character of the series were included in the study. Data was collected through document review method. To analyze the data ethnographic content analysis was utilized. The following results were obtained. There were not stereotypes in terms of gender or age of the characters. On the other hand, three of the characters were seen as teachers in social sciences while only one of them was a Math teacher. All of the characters were single or widow which was regarded as a negative image component. Additionally, all of the series were set in high schools. As for the positive image components, the characters were idealistic, self-sacrificing, concerned, role-model, respectable and just. The names of the characters can be said to have positive connotations in Turkish language. They had positive visual image and good relations with their students. The characters could solve their students' personal problems. However, some negative image components were present in the series. These can be listed as financial status, the fierce opposition to the school administration, solving the problems at school informally, making exam in the first lesson and using insulting words to the students. Teachers were also depicted as an occupational group which can easily be appointed from place to place as a punishment. It was also determined that there were some omitted image components. Teachers were not depicted while planning, preparing for the lesson, training, participating in the meetings, grading the exams or doing extra tasks.
