Turkish Lise, which its history goes as far back as the establishment of Galatasaray Lise in 1868, is a unique institution in Turkish educational system. Historically, the purpose of Turkish Lise was to train a small group of Turkish elite for high positions in the government. But after 1950's, Lises' student body has grown rapidly. In addition to normal Lises, many vocational and technical lises, Anadolu Lises and Anadolu Technical lises were opened. Lises have become such institutions which have prepared their graduates not only for universities but also for various Jobs. Although Turkish lise İs an important institution in Turkish educational system, it has not been studied enough. This study is intended to fill this gap. The presente study investigates seven different types of lises; Normal, Super, Trade vocational and Technical, Technical, Anadolu Technical and Private Normal lise in Adapazarı region. The study aims to explore social organizations, culture, students, teachers and curriculum ( overt and hidden ) of these scholls by using an interpretive research approach. The data used in this study includes two semester long classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students and an overview of writen documents and textbooks. The study discusses how students of Super Lise and Normal Lise differ in their academic interest and success. And how teachers' perceptions of Super Lise and Normal lise students determine what knowledge teachers make available for their students. The study also deals with the conflict and tension between students an teachers as well as teachers and school administration. By companing eduacation provided in normal lise with education in vocational and technical lise the study argues that vocational and technical lise is not training skilled people demanded by dhe nation's economy. Because of the poor conditions and lack of student interest in this secondary school, teachers are not eager to tecah much. Even if they want to teach there isn't any body to listen to them. In many clasrooms teachers spend most of their class time to keep students quit and in order. The study discusses main problems in this school and Anadolu Technical and Technical lise as well. Private lise is differen from these government schools in many respects. Finally, study suggest some ideas in orter to reconstruct secondary schools in Turkey. vui (1)
