摘要：In almost all systems there have been unethical behaviors that take place in written and visual
media. Of all these unethical behaviors, favoritism takes precedence. This study was
conducted to investigate whether or not the administrators favor some people in the Turkish
national education system and also to reveal the teachers’ thoughts on whether or not the
administrators (central, provincial, and school administrators) show favoritism in their
decisions and practices. In the study, a scale was constructed to collect data, and its validity
and reliability were checked. After a group of teachers tested the scale, the results indicated
that the teachers tend to believe that central, provincial and school administrators are partial in
favor of some people in the Turkish national education system. Teachers believe that
favoritism has existed in the following areas: the appointment of central administrators in the
ministry of national education, in school administrators and teachers, in providing educational
materials for schools, in selecting schools to take part in activities, in promoting teachers to a
higher position or appointing them to positions abroad; about tendering investments in the
provincial education administration, in opening private schools, courses and institutions, in
the distribution of funds to schools, as well as the use of buildings, establishments and
materials provided by the ministry; in the practice of school administrators about the tolerance
for teachers’ having permission for any reasons, in teachers beginning courses and leaving
classrooms on time, and finally in selecting participants for activities from which they can
benefit financially and academically. Participants believe that administrators neglect skills and
abilities, and that they behave show favoritism about the issues mentioned above in favor of
their friends, fellow countrymen, and those having political views that align with their own.
