Teachers stated that they were aware of the technology-related goals of the program. Technology provides convenience in the teaching process for teachers. Technology is more effective on listening skills and visuality in the primary school teaching process and creates a more enjoyable lesson environment for students. Although the teachers said that technology is exciting and useful, on the other hand, they also stated the risk of causing addiction.

Thus, interviews were conducted with administrators and teachers working in schools at different socio -economic levels, union presidents and branch managers who are currently working through a semistructured interview form. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed by content analysis and the codes obtained as a result of the analysis were interpreted by associating them with appropriate themes. As a result of the analysis, a total of 152 codes were reached. The codes obtained were gathered under six different themes and they were conveyed with the quotations obtained from the participants’ opinions . As a result, it was concluded that the participants defined the headteacher phenomenon differently from the career steps defined in the Occupational Law, they had expectations and concerns about the process, and the criteria determined within the scope of the law during the evaluation process were insufficient. Therefore, we foresee that holding information meetings in order to reduce the concerns about the process, redesigning the criteria and evaluation process in a more objective and merit -based way, and organizing the career ladder at a level that meets the expectations of teachers will increase the quality of education and also make teachers give more importance to their personal development.
