The research was carried out with 745 teachers working in public schools in the city center of Afyonkarahisar, Turkey. The sample group was determined by stratification method and simple random sampling method. Schools were stratified as primary school, secondary school, divinity secondary school and high school. A certain number of schools from each stratum were determined by lot, and it was aimed to reach all teachers in the specified schools. More than half of the participants were female with a rate of 55.5%. Data were collected from teachers working in five different main branches. According to the results, 22.8% of teachers need ethical training in the Stalking sub-dimension, 14.5% in the Communication sub-dimension, and 9.4% in the Confidence and Material sub-dimension.
