The reform struggles in different dimensions, the educational ministers of diverse governments,the shifts in the Ministry of National Education in short periods, and following new politics with thenew coming governments in the system brought educational regulation shifts frequently. The issuemust be handled in a spectrum of dimensions with the aim of bringing a light to the outcomes ofthe applications of educational regulation shifts. The general aim of this study is to investigate andclarify the regulation shifts in the Turkish educational system and the attitudes of school managerstowards these shifts. A convergent parallel method, which is among the mix method researchdesigns, was used in the study. The sampling includes 223 school managers from nursery schools,primary schools, secondary schools, high schools-working in Mersin and Adana cities in 2016/2017educational year. The study has been conducted by an instrument with three parts: the first partconsists of demographic data, the second part covers a semi-structured interview form designedby the researchers (applied to 60 managers), and the third part includes the scale of preparednessfor changes designed by Kondakçı and his friends (2010). Descriptive analysis is employed forqualitative data, while the quantitative data were analysed by SPSS. The results of the studysuggest that the Ministry of National Education very often introduces structural regulation shiftsand transformations and this has a negative effect on the educational system. The frequentchanges also show that managers’ attitudes towards being prepared to the shifts are quite high.
