The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that have had negative effects on teachers’ sense of dignity, professional identity, and self-image; these factors can also (according to qualitative findings gathered from teachers themselves) be seen as degrading or humiliating. The profession of teaching has traditionally been afforded a high level of respect in Turkish society, and for a long period of time was seen as a highly desirable occupation for the academically inclined, but has recently suffered a precipitous drop in status due to a number of factors which have contributed to the maligning of the professional identity and public image of teachers.  This study focuses on uncovering and delineating the factors that underlie the worldview, sense of status and rank, pedagogical understanding, and professional opinions of teachers working in different disciplines as well as the factors that affect their professional identities and the public’s perception of their profession. The study was designed using qualitative descriptive research methods. In-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 10 teachers; the resultant data was subsequently analyzed using content analysis. The program NVIVO 12 was used to categorize and classify the data. The findings of the study indicate that the lack of professionalism, decrease in personal rights, negative coverage in the media, and negative political discourse regarding the profession of teaching have all had deleterious effects on teachers’ professional identities and self-image and have diminished the importance of the profession in the view of the public.
