Exploring the components of teachers’ educational skills

This study aimed to identify the manifest and latent meanings of teaching skills. This phenomenological study was conducted in 2020. The qualitative data were analyzed in MAXQDA 10 via grounded theory theoretical coding. The analysis of the interviews yielded 1395 initial codes that were refined to 648 components, 29 subcategories, and nine skills. The majority of components (n=182) belonged to the communication skills, and the fewest components belonged to the research skill (n=30). Class management and organization (n=89), monitoring and evaluation (n=70), using technology and tools (n=62), personal (n=48), planning (n=39), and creativity skills (n=30) were also identified.
