The sample of the research for data is formed by 184 class teachers who work in the official primary schools associated with the Ministry of Education in the Afyonkarahisar districts in the 2015-2016 educational year. The data obtained was analyzed using the SPSS-20 package program. The research results have found that classmates have high self-quality in environmental education. Class teachers have found that there is no significant difference in their field knowledge, teaching strategies and environmental education self-capacity overall scores in terms of gender, the institution studied, the state of learning and the settlement unit studied. According to classmates, there is a significant difference between environmental education self-sufficiency points. The number of teachers increases, the environmental education self-sufficiency points are increasing. Teachers with environmental awareness have achieved high levels of teaching qualifications as well. According to class teachers’ learning conditions and backgrounds, there is no significant difference between the scale scale of the teacher’s qualifications with environmental awareness. However, according to the institutions in which class teachers work and the residential unit, the teacher’s qualifications with environmental awareness have seen a significant difference between scale points.
