Abstract
The aim of this research is to reveal the view towards teacher training by letter, one of the teacher training policies in Turkey. For this purpose, case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. In order to reach the research findings, a detailed literature search was carried out, and in the data collection and analysis processes, attention was paid to ensure that the data were meaningful and consistent within themselves. In addition, content analysis of the data obtained in the research was carried out. According to the research results; We see that around forty thousand teachers are trained through distance education institutions established under the Ministry of National Education. From the point of view of teacher training, it is possible to say that the system is blocked due to the problems experienced in the functioning of the system, such as the inability to create the desired quality at the level of the students in proportion to the quality of education, the insufficient conditions for education, the lecture notes and exams are not delivered to the students or they are delivered late. Although the practice of teacher training by letter has the feature of being a distance education model applied in the history of Turkish education, the practice could not be continued for a very long time.
