Metaphor is a tool that helps us perceive the world by expressing more than word art. Metaphors are used in certain areas of education. It appears in different ways in the fields of literature, philosophy, sociology, educational sciences, social studies. Teachers also tell concrete and abstract data through metaphors to make it easier to keep in mind and to make it more understandable. The purpose of this study is to perceive the metaphor perceptions of the concepts of "independence" and "struggle" that reveal the mental perceptions of classroom teachers. The method of this research is designed with one of the qualitative research methods, phenomenology. The research was conducted in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The working group of the study 33 classroom teachers serving in various provinces and districts of Turkey (28 women, 5 man) was performed. “Independence is like ………; because ……” and “Struggle is like ………; because ………” questions were asked. The data were interpreted through content analysis. The metaphors obtained according to the content analysis were categorized according to their common features in terms of meaning, and tables were created and interpreted. The metaphors about the concept of "independence" are divided into 7 conceptual categories, and the metaphors about the concept of "struggle" are divided into 5 conceptual categories. According to the results obtained in this study, a metaphor has been explained mostly in the category of freedom with 57.4% about the concept of "independence". In this category, the metaphor of "bird" was formed at the most with 15.2%. With 45.2% regarding the concept of "struggle", it is mostly explained in the category of overcoming difficulties. In this category, the metaphor of "life" was formed at most with 12.1%. The metaphors created by the classroom teachers participating in the study reveal that they perceive them in a way that is equivalent to the definitions used in the Social Studies course. In the light of the findings, the research group can be changed, more different research can be done using qualitative and quantitative methods, and comparative studies with demographic information can be made.
