This research aims to examine school climate, one of the factors affecting teacher autonomy, according to teachers' opinions. Relational screening model was used in the research. According to the research results; Teacher autonomy and school climate levels were above average. On the other hand, when examining by gender; It was revealed that teachers' perceptions of school climate and teacher autonomy do not differ between men and women. In the analysis according to age; The difference between the school climate scale and the arithmetic averages of the age groups was found to be statistically significant, and it was concluded that the school climate perception of the 31-40 age group and the 51 year old and above age group was higher than the 20-30 age group. There was no statistical difference between teacher autonomy and the arithmetic averages of the age groups. Additionally, it was revealed that married teachers' perceptions of school climate and teacher autonomy were higher than single teachers. In review according to professional experience; Teachers' perceptions of school climate and teacher autonomy do not vary according to differences in professional experience. There is a significant, high level and positive relationship between the school climate of the teachers in the study and the general dimensions of teacher autonomy. Finally, teachers' perceptions of school climate significantly predict their perceptions of teacher autonomy. In other words, a 100-unit increase in teachers' school climate dimension increases their perception of teacher autonomy by 32.8%.
