Gender perceptions and gender-based stereotypes might heavily affect the motives behind the preference of a profession, and teaching is among the professions in which gender-based differences are most prominent. In terms of the qualifications it requires and the opportunities it offers, teaching is a profession where women can carry out their individual and professional roles together. The gender-based division of labor adheres to traditional norms both in the private sphere and in the public sphere, and it can be deduced that the professions are divided strongly on the basis of the gender-based division of labor. In this study, women teachers were asked about their motives in becoming a teacher and their views and experiences about teaching profession. As a result of the data analysis, the most important internal and external reasons for teachers to prefer teaching profession have been determined. The impact of family and social environment constitute the most important reasons along with loving children and loving being a teacher. Since external and personal reasons are interconnected, this interconnectedness is highly informed by traditional gender roles and patriarchal structure in Turkey.

Stereotyped gender role perceptions and presentations in elemantary schooling : a case study in Burdur(2001-2002) Kaya, Havva Eylem; Varoğlu, Demet; Department of Gender and Women's Studies (2003) A schooling system that claims to offer its students the opportunities to develop their talents and help towards self-determination in their adult lives might be expected to have a career structure itself that demonstrated these virtues, one in which there was equality of the genders in positions of influence and leadership, and no gender stereotyping of roles. Apart from the fairness and consistency of that expectation, it is also reasonable to expect the neutral template of teacher employment and textbook...
Stereotypes of single and married women and men in Turkish culture Sakallı, Nuray; KUZLAK, ABDULKADİR; GUPTA, ANMOL (2018-07-01) While it is natural for stereotypes of social groups to change over time and across various social contexts, there has been a lack of research investigating how marriage impacts specifically gender-based stereotypes. In Turkish culture, social status, roles, and stereotypes are highly dependent on marital status, and more so for women, who are labeled as “girls” until marriage. The present research seeks to examine how people picture men and women before and after marriage through free response. Specificall...
