Abstract: This study aimed to examine teachers’ views on the education process carried out during the pandemic period through metaphors. A phenomenological design was used in the study. The study group of the research consisted of 61 teachers. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect the study data. For teachers to express their metaphorical perceptions of the education process carried out during the pandemic period, the form included the statement, “The education process carried out during the pandemic (COVID-19) period is like ..., because …”. Data analysis was carried out in the following stages: Classification, Elimination and refinement, Compilation and category development, Ensuring validity and reliability, and Analysis of quantitative data. The teachers expressed 61 different metaphors. These metaphors were grouped into 11 categories: “ineffectiveness”, “lack of interaction”, “inequality of opportunity”, “diversity”, “obligation”, “flexibility”, “awareness”, “psychological support”, “uncertainty”, “impermanence” and “unpredictability”. “Ineffectiveness” was the most emphasised category. “Ineffectiveness”, “lack of interaction”, “psychological support” and “uncertainty” were common categories emphasized by both male and female teachers. Female teachers mostly emphasised the “ineffectiveness” category, while male teachers mostly emphasised the “lack of interaction” category. Additionally, “ineffectiveness” was the category most emphasised by teachers at all four levels (preschool, primary school, secondary school and high school). The common categories emphasized by teachers at all four levels were “ineffectiveness”, “lack of interaction” and “inequality of opportunity”. In the study, it was determined that teachers had positive and negative perceptions of the education process during the pandemic period. However, teachers of both genders and all levels associated the process with concepts related to ineffectiveness and lack of interaction.
