The purpose of this study was to find out the value systems of primary school teachers. Stratified random sampling was used to choose the sample of the study. 902 primary school teachers from 50 different schools (44 state, 6 private schools) located in Izmir participated in the study. The data was collected with "Portrait Values Scale". Means, standard deviation, t-test, One-way ANOVA, and LSD significance tests were used to analyze the data. The results were as follows: Gender of the teachers indicated a significant difference in "Achievement", "Hedonism", "Universalism", "Tradition", and "Security" value dimensions. Age was an important effect in "Achievement", "Stimulation", and "Conformity" value dimensions. The teaching fields of teachers caused a significant difference in "Hedonism" and "Tradition" value dimensions. Teachers from private and state schools differ from each other in their perceiving "Stimulation", "Benevolence", and "Conformity" value types.
