Abstract | The purpose of this study is to identify teacher opinions about democracy education at primary schools in Turkey. The research is designed as a single case study. The study group was selected with an purposive cum convenience sampling method and consists of 15 teachers working at a primary school in Ankara, Turkey. The data were gathered with a semi-structured interview form that is developed by researchers. The data were coded by different coders and analyzed with the descriptive analysis method. Findings show that teachers don't get any formation on teaching democracy both during their university years and through in-service training during their professional life. The teachers also share the opinion that the activities in the curricula and books are not enough. Democracy education should be given with concrete activities that are also suitable for the students' level. The teachers state that they do democracy education activities in their lessons. It is concluded from the research that democracy education activities should have more place in the curricula and thereupon course books, teacher candidates and the teachers should get more and applied courses and training, also teachers should give more place to structured and expedient democracy education activities in their lessons.
