Abstract	Education has an inevitable effect on character formation and through this process, teachers' role is crucial. Therefore, the aim of the study was analyzing the views of primary school teachers concerning the qualities teachers should have and their self-efficacy perceptions as character educators. This was a descriptive survey study with 301 primary school teachers from schools at different socio-economical level.
