The purpose of the study was to evaluate teachers' views about the level of practice of democratic values by primary school principals. Participants were 300 primary school teachers from four different regions of Turkey. The data were collected through a questionnaire, and analyzed by using t test and ANOVA tests. Results indicate that gender, educational level, and membership of a union make a difference in terms of practicing democratic values. Furthermore, some meaningful differences were noted in the subdimension of the questionnaire depending on the teachers' professional experience and on the present number of students as variables.In the late 19th century and in the early 20th century many nations endeavored to practice democracy and others still have that goal. As it is in many countries, the process of being democratic has been continuing in Turkey. However, it is not accurate to say that the level of democratic education is adequate. It is necessary to train individuals who have democratic behaviors in order to see the effects of democracy in every part of society in Turkey, as well as in other countries which have been developing democratic societies. Democratic values can be taught only through a democratic education.
