Abstract :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.
