Abstract :The aim of this research is to seek answers to ‘what the opinions of the investigated educators on the structure and running of the investigations are and what the reflections of the investigations are? The research conforms to phenomenology design which is one of qualitative research methods. Semi-structured interview form was employed to collect data. The study group of the research consists of 15 educators (teacher, school principal and vice principal) who have undergone an investigation. Criterion sampling method was used and maximum diversity was considered in the selection of the participants. The data were analyzed through content analysis by following an inductive pattern. As a result of the analyses, a total of 10 themes and 65 codes were identified. Six themes were created regarding the opinions of the investigated educators (IEs) on the structure and running of the investigation system. Based on the frequency density, the themes are as follows respectively: ‘the opinions of the investigated (f=26), the penalty imposed (f=24), the investigator’s attitudes (f=22), the reason for the investigation (f=20), the type of investigation (f=17) and the attitudes and behaviours of the administration (f=13)’. Regarding the impacts and opinions that investigation processes have left on the investigated educators, four themes were generated. Based on the frequency density, the themes are as follows respectively: ‘the impact on the profession (f=29), the impact on the health (f=21), thoughts and actions in the course of the investigation (f=10), the impact on the relationship (f=7)’.
