“…Simultaneously, similar research in Turkey reveals specific features of a teacher profession expressed by such adjectives as "tolerant, affectionate, sympathetic, jocund, communicative, helping to attain an outstanding character, responsibility and self-confidence, honest, reliable, fair" (Polat, Unisen, 2016: 2). Moreover, the study emphasizes that almost all respondents are demanding to the qualification of a teacher whose profession has a shade of sacredness and sometimes is equated to the prophets' profession in Turkey and China (Levitskaya, Seliverstova, 2019;Polat, Unisen, 2016). However, research carried out in the United States and some European countries show the opposite attitude when the teaching profession is losing its prestige, contemporary teachers are not respected by students and compared to social workers (Levitskaya, Seliverstova, 2019: 24).…”

“…Mass media transfer the information, expand and enrich the knowledge, describe situations and express opinions. Moreover, they can foster particular media content and trigger feelings of the audience (Polat, Unisen, 2016). For example, in the Soviet Union media were actively used to form the image of an ideal Soviet teacher in public conscience.…”

In the last decades when Russia has entered the process of globalization and internalization we have a wide range of possibilities to travel abroad, to communicate with representatives of other countries and cultures, to collaborate in professional spheres participating in joint projects and events and to gain information, knowledge, and skills wherever published or uploaded. In most cases to succeed in cross-cultural communication or knowledge acquisition, we need English that is considered to be a language of international communication or lingua franca, a language that bridges people. Films play a crucial role in the formation of images as they can raise or damage the prestige of particular professions and create or ruin stereotypes. In recent years there has been considerable interest in studying the image of a teacher in feature films, however, all the researchers have only focused on the teacher image in general. This study is the first to retrace the transformation of English teacher image shown in Soviet and post-Soviet (Russian) films. To achieve the aim the authors use literature review, theoretical analysis and synthesis, descriptive and comparative analyses and historiographical methods. The empirical research is based on the hermeneutical analysis of audiovisual media texts with a particular emphasis on the character analysis. The investigation reveals no significant differences in the transformation of the image between the English teacher and the teacher in general.

“…Türkiye'de son yıllarda öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajına yönelik yapılan çalışmalar arasında "öğretmenlik mesleği imaj ölçeği geliştirilmesi" (Bağçeci vd., 2013), "öğretmenlerin medyadaki imajı" (Polat ve Ünişen, 2016), "öğretmenlerin mesleki imaj algısı ile örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışları arasındaki ilişki" (Sönmez ve Cemaloğlu, 2017) gibi çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Ancak meslek imajı kapsamında belirtilen alt boyutları kapsayan bir ölçme aracın bulunmadığından bu araştırma tasarlanmıştır.…”

“…Araştırma kapsamında ortaya çıkan diğer faktör medyadır. Medyanın imaj oluşturmada etkilerinin olduğu çeşitli çalışmalarda ifade edilmesine rağmen (Hoyle, 2001;Hansen, 2009;Dowling,1986;Grandy ve Mavin, 2011;Swetnam, 1992;Polat ve Ünişen, 2016;TEDMEM, 2016) meslek imajına yönelik ölçeklerde medya boyutuna rastlanmamıştır. Bu amaçla elde edilen ölçeğin başka katılımcılara uygulanması sayesinde farklı kesimlerin öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajı hakkındaki görüşleri alınabilir.…”

ÖZBu araştırma, öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajını ortaya çıkarmaya yönelik ölçek geliştirme ve uygulama süreçlerini kapsayan bir karma yöntem çalışmasıdır. Araştırma kapsamında öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajını ölçecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmek ve bu ölçek ile öğretmenlerin görüşlerine göre öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajını ortaya çıkarmak hedeflenmiştir. "Öğretmenlik mesleği imaj ölçeği" olarak adlandırılan ölçek beş boyuttan ve 28 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Ölçek toplam varyansın %54,9'unu açıklamaktadır ve Cronbach Alpha değeri ,813 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel veri toplama aşamasına 29 öğretmen; nicel veri toplama aşamasına ise 694 öğretmen katılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre öğretmenler, öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajının orta düzeyde olduğunu; "mesleki ve kişisel özellikler", "mesleki cazibe" ve "statü" boyutlarında meslek imajının iyi düzeyde olduğunu; "toplumsal algı" ve "medya" boyutlarında ise düşük düzeyde olduğunu belirtmektedirler. Araştırmanın nitel bulgularına göre öğretmenler ise mesleğin imajının iyi olmadığını ve zamanla daha da kötüye gittiğini düşünmektedirler. Bu sonuçlara göre mesleğin imajının iyileştirilmesine yönelik ve toplumsal algıyı iyileştirecek çalışmalar yapılması önerilmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: öğretmen, meslek imajı, ölçek geliştirme, öğretmenlik mesleğinin imajı, karma yöntem ABSTRACT This mixed method research is a scale development and implementation study which aims to explore the occupational image of teaching. The aim of this research was to develop a valid and reliable scale, and to reveal the occupational image of teaching based on teachers' views. The scale called "the occupational image scale of teaching" consists of five dimensions and 28 items. The scale explains the 54,9 % of the total variance and the Cranbach Alpha of the scale is ,813. The poplualtion includes 29 teachers (for the qualitative part) and 694 teachers (for the quantitative part). The results showed that the image of the teaching occupation is at moderate level. Although the occupational image is at a good level in the factors, "professional and personal characteristics", "occupational attraction" and "status", it is at low level in the factors "social perception" and "media". In addition, the findings of the qualitative part of the study showed that the teachers think the image of teaching is not good and it is getting worse day by day. Based on these results, it is suggested to carry out practices to enhance the image of the occupation and the social perception.

“…On a day-to-day basis, the media image of teachers is complex and often mixed. Some negative images (Polat, & Unisen, 2016) in both news and entertainment portrayals often focus on the salacious and scandalous stories that represent a tiny minority of teaching experiences. On a positive side, because the members of this profession feel "called" to the job and have a passion for the profession and are dedicated to their students, the story we often hear in the news media is of teachers going to tremendous lengths to support their students (Krausz, 2002).…”

Unfortunately, tragedies occur all around the world every day. It is perceived by many as particularly devastating when children are the victims of the tragedy. When these events do occur, the media is likely to cover them in part due to the innocence and vulnerability of the victims. In reading media accounts of tragedies involving children, we often hear stories of bravery and heroism on the part of teachers. Teachers' images in the media are not always positive, but their capacity to serve as heroes can be seen in the coverage of these tragic events. Campbell discusses the hero monomyth in terms of separation, initiation, and return. In this vein, we look at the stories of hero teachers before, during, and after two specific incidents in order to conduct a comparative, cross-cultural study. We consider two tragic incidents in two different countries-the sinking of the Sewol ferry in South Korea in 2014 and the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018. In this research, we look at media accounts of three hero teachers in each incident and make comparisons from a sociocultural perspective through the lens of a hero narrative.
