The aim of the study is to determine the views of the teachers who instruct the Implementation Science elective course. The research was carried out with descriptive survey method. The study was conducted in the secondary schools in Giresun during the 2013-2014 education year. A total of 17 science teachers who instructed the course participated in the study. The population of the study was randomly selected from 3 schools in the city centre, 5 schools in the towns, and 5 village schools. During the data collection process, a teacher questionnaire developed by the researcher was used to seek answers for the problem and sub problems of the research. It was revealed in the study that almost all the teachers in the study stated that Implementation Science course made contributions to the students in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains and the course achieved its goal in a strict sense. It was identified that teachers encountered some problems within the course. The problems encountered can be listed as follows: lack of course materials or written materials about the course, and lack of experience because of not being informed about how to teach the course, lack of student interest in the course because of not assessing it with exams/ degrees and the course usually being the last lesson on the timetable
