In the study, data were gathered by interview technique which is one of the qualitative research methods. All of the interviews were conducted by the researcher individually. During the interviews, voice recordings were made with the interviewers who consented to this and note-taking system was used with the interviewers who did not consent to voice recording. Data were analyzed by content analysis method. Analyzing the content of the interview, themes and sub-themes were created according to thematic coding. According to the results of the research, the administrators stated that there was no written professional ethical principles in the school and they did not need them. However, there are officially written professional ethical principles. According to school administrators, the source of unethical behavior is inadequacy and being under pressure by many factors. However, some administrators can ignore unethical behavior. School administrators prefer to give punishment to the staff directly who will act unethically. Ethical practices in school administrators' schools are not at the level as it is supposed to be and are not functional. School administrators indicate that there is a professional difference between men and women. It is obvious that school administrators who participated in this study have deficiencies in ethics in school administration.

The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of elementary and secondary school administrators' attitudes towards disciplinary issues and to examine whether they vary by various variables (gender, age, educational level, faculty of graduation, branch, seniority, courses, seminars and status of receiving training). The study was prepared in accordance with the relational screening model, one of the general screening models. In the model of the study, the relationship between the variables was examined in accordance with the general and sub-purposes. The population of the study consisted of school administrators working at public elementary and secondary schools in Istanbul province. The sample of the study consisted of 103 administrators working in a total of 12 institutions including 7 public elementary schools and 5 secondary schools located in Gaziosmanpaşa district in the 2015-2016 academic year. The "Disciplinary Approaches of Administrators at School" Scale prepared by Özcan (2008a) was used as a data collection tool. As a result of the data analysis, administrators' attitudes towards disciplinary approaches were found to be at the medium level. There is a significant difference between the attitudes towards disciplinary approaches of administrators who graduated from the faculty of education and of administrators who graduated from other faculties other than the faculty of education. It is observed that administrators who graduated from other faculties have a more positive attitude towards disciplinary approaches compared to administrators who graduated from the faculty of education. The difference between the arithmetic means of school administrators' attitudes towards disciplinary issues according to gender, age, branch, educational level, occupational seniority, courses, seminars and status of receiving training was not found to be statistically significant.  ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı ilkokul ve ortaokul yöneticilerinin disiplin sorunlarıyla ilgili tutumlarının ne düzeyde olduğu ve çeşitli değişkenlere (cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim düzeyi, mezun olunan fakülte, kıdem, kurs, seminer ve eğitim alıp almamalarına) göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Araştırma, genel tarama modelinde nicel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 2015-2016 eğitim öğretim yılında Gaziosmanpaşa ilçesinde bulunan, 7 ilkokul ve 5 ortaokul olmak üzere toplam 12  kurumda  görev yapmakta olan 103 yöneticiden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Özcan (2008a) tarafından hazırlanan “Yöneticilerin Okuldaki Disiplin Yaklaşımları” anketi kullanılmıştır.Veri analizi sonucunda, yöneticilerin disiplin yaklaşımlarına yönelik tutumlarının orta düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Eğitim fakültesini bitiren yöneticiler ile eğitim fakültesi dışındaki diğer fakültelerden mezun olan yöneticilerin disiplin yaklaşımlarına yönelik tutumları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık görülmektedir. Diğer fakültelerden mezun olan yöneticilerin eğitim fakültelerinden mezun olan yöneticilere göre disiplin yaklaşımları konusunda daha olumlu bir tutuma sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Okul yöneticilerinin disiplin sorunlarıyla ilgili tutumlarının cinsiyet, yaş, branş, öğrenim durumu, mesleki kıdem, kurs, seminer ve eğitim alıp almama değişkenlerine göre aritmetik ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır.
