Research-oriented learning is a learning approach enabling students to do scientific research, work actively in the process, revise, reinforce, learn by living and doing, take responsibility, boost their self-confidence, put what they have learned into practice and solve the problems they have encountered in their daily lives. The aim of this re-search is to determine the views of primary school teachers about research-oriented learning approach by considering some demographic variables. The sample of the re-search constitutes 253 primary school teachers working under Provincial Directorate of National Education in the city centre of Antalya in 2015-2016 school years. General screening models, one of the descriptive screening methods, and mixed model were used in the research. Validity and reliability studies of 22-item 'Survey of Research-Oriented Learning Approach' used in the research were conducted and Cronbach's Alpha internal reliability coefficient was calculated as 0.89. As a consequence of the research, the result has been reached that according to the primary school teachers, research-oriented learning approach develops students' problem solving skills and lets students enter in to a certain process, but purposes and gains about subjects are not determined by teachers. Moreover, such results have been reached in the research that depending on demo-graphic variables, there is no a statistically significant difference of opinions regarding the approach between female and male primary school teachers according to gender variable.
