They were requested to create metaphors for the concept of “principal authorized teacher” in the provided form to determine their mental thoughts and demographic data. Due to missing information and illegible writing in the gathered data, only 32 participants’ data were examined. The analysis revealed that the metaphors indicated by the principal authorized teachers were classified as overworked, competent, self-sacrificing, working beyond their job duties, and other conceptual categories, respectively. When the suggestions are examined, it is necessary to reduce the workload of the principal authorized teachers. Thus, the principal can do the work of authorized teachers more effectively.  \nKeywords: Principal authorized teacher, primary school, metaphor  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2022.248.12  \n1Assist.

The principal authorized teacher undertakes the duties, powers and responsibilities of the principal. The Principal Authorized Teacher is appointed to carry out the duties of principal and administrative services in addition to the duties of a classroom teacher in primary schools where there is no permanent principal staff, on the request of the Provincial/District Directorate of National Education and with the endorsement of the administrative chief. The Ministry of National Education defines a teacher authorized as the principal as “a teacher who provides administrative duties as well as teaching in primary schools without an independent directorate.” In recognition of the way that principal authorized teachers, unlike regular teachers, execute a management task as a course, 12 hours per week during the semester and summer vacations, and 3 hours per week during the school year are viewed a management task, for which an additional course fee is paid in exchange for actual serving (MEB, 1999) .  \nHowever, some studies outlined the problems experienced by principal authorized primary school teachers. For example, Tosun and Filiz (2017) stated that principal authorized teachers had major financial difficulties in schools. According to another study, the principal authorized teachers“accepted the duty since it is compulsory, regarded the principal authorized teacher concept as a problem for the system,” and “primarily experienced challenges in administrative and educational affairs.”(Kubanç & Şama, 2017). In addition to studies on identifying problems in the literature, there are studies on whether there is a difference in terms of different variables between principal authorized teachers and school principals. There was no significant relationship between leadership styles and job title in a study that looked into whether there is a significant relationship between the leadership styles of principal authorized teachers and school principals (Üstün & Çam, 2016) . Nevertheless, none of these studies provides direct information about how principal authorized teachers evaluate their roles, and what their prominent concerns considering their dual duties. In this regard, this study aims to determine the difficulties of being principal authorized teachers by employing metaphors to be able generate mental thoughts about the concept.
