Abstract

This study investigated the opinions of school administrators working in primary (elementary) and secondary (high school) schools in İznik district, Bursa province, on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic process on their psychology, family life and work life. Twenty-one school administrators, six female and fifteen male, participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants using a 10-question interview form developed by the researcher. Data from the interviews were analysed using MaxQda qualitative analysis software. The interview transcripts of the participating administrators were analysed and coded, and the effects experienced by the school administrators in psychological, family and work life during the pandemic process were divided into codes. The issue that school administrators were most affected by the pandemic is related to psychological and emotional health. Administrators who had difficulty coping with the idea of uncertainty preferred to spend more time with family members to cope. Contrary to expectations, the Covid 19 pandemic did not reduce the workload of school administrators; on the contrary, it added the responsibility of managing distance learning to their previous tasks.
