Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the fundamental cause of the psychological dilemma experienced by teachers in the school space. To this end, 8 of the middle school teachers who attended the art therapy program participated in the study, the verbal description derived from the teacher's interview process and the visual results of the art works were cyclically interpreted. FGI and individual interviews were conducted according to the methodological procedure of grounded theory proposed by Strauss and Corbin (2001). 6 categories were derived from open coding, and a theoretical situational model was derived by naming the core categories as 'psychological dilemmas caused by two gaze' in the selective coding and specifying the analysis. This study suggested that the psychological dillema experienced by teachers are structural results from the dual surveillance system of a ‘disciplined society’ and ‘transparent society’ and the resulting role contradiction. It is expected that this study will be part the connection of teacher’s individual psychological and emotional problems and social structural aspects by integrating social analysis and artistic experiences.
