The Obstacles on Woman's Path to School Administration
Güngör, Semra Kiranli; Meriçelli, Feride
Anatolian Journal of Education, v5 n1 p105-118 Apr 2020
This study aims to determine the reasons why the number of the woman principals in school administration is low. The study was conducted in spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year with the participation of sixteen-man principals and fourteen-woman principals, serving in thirty public pre-schools, primary and secondary schools. The study was carried out by interview technique which is one of qualitative research methods. The content analysis of the data was carried out. The obstacles of woman principals to find place in administration stem from the eagerness of the women to be a principal. The mother roles, the household chores, the idea that the administration is suitable for the men, the women do not support their same gender are some of the obstacles for women not to prefer being principals. Even if women want to be principal, prejudge shown to them and the lack of confidence resulting from the prejudge cause the women work harder and consume away. It has been concluded that the social roles, the social culture, patriarchal structure and society, the queen bee syndrome and the glass ceiling syndrome are the reasons which prevent the women to go forward in administration.
