Educational Status of Immigrant Students in the Context of Teachers' Views

The purpose of this study is to assess the educational status of immigrant students based on the views of teachers working in schools. This research employs a phenomenological approach within the qualitative research framework. The study group comprises 17 teachers from secondary schools located in the central districts (Karatay, Meram, and Selçuklu) of Konya, Türkiye, during the 2022-2023 academic year. Data was collected using a semi-structured interview form, and the gathered information was analyzed through descriptive and content analysis methods. From the analysis of teachers' views on the current educational status of immigrant students, key areas such as communication, social life, problem-solving, and teacher training emerged.
