The participants of this study are the primary school teachers of 302.961 which are actively in service all over the country. As the sample group was randomly chosen, 442 of those teachers were requested to fill the survey form online. 396 of those teachers replied the request and sent back the survey form. Regarding the principle of confidentiality of personal data, no personal information was requested from participants. All data provided from survey form were used anonymously as stated within the survey form. The instrument used in this study is the survey form containing 15 statements provided from literature inquiry focused on postmodern education. This survey form was organised to be a pre-study in order to develop scales for further studies. For determining the levels of approval, 5-level Likert type scale was used by the statements. For the ease at analysis process, scales were reduced to 3 levels and statements were re-coded accordingly. The analysis applied related to the data were controlled within the error margin of ,05. Following Chi-square tests by SPSS 22 software applied to the data gained from the survey form, it was found that the scores for 3rd statement within the gender category; 6th and 14th statements within the age category; 2nd, 4th, 6th and 14th statements within the length of service category; 1st, 3rd and 15th statements within the level of education category vary statistically significantly. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;tab-stops:253.5pt"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> <o:p>  </o:p> </span> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>}, number={1}, publisher={Sabri SİDEKLİ} }
