The purpose of
this study is to determine views of teachers’ on private courses and teachers’
efficacy, which would affect their views, were examined and the case was
evaluated with regards to teachers. The study was conducted with the
participation of 1065 teachers who work at different secondary schools in
Ankara. When the data of the study was examined, it was determined that
teachers’ views concerning private courses are positive. Teachers think that
private courses have fewer numbers of students in one class where students are
of the same level; they also think that private courses corroborate knowledge
obtained at school so that lessons are learnt better. They think all these
factors increase success. It was also determined that teachers’ efficacy is rather
high. Moreover, it was seen that the more experience teachers have in their
profession, the higher their perception of efficacy.
