It also examined the possible  \nrelationships between gender, grade and democratic values and self  \nefficacy perceptions. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 294  \npre-service teachers. Findings show that they had a high level of  \ndemocratic values while senior students reported the highest rate of democratic values. Results did not show a significant difference between democratic values and gender. Participants also reported a moderately  \nhigh level of self-efficacy. Lastly, correlation was found between their  \ndemocratic values and self-efficacy perceptions.  \nIntroduction  \nSchools are places where democratic ideals such as equality, freedom, justice are instilled in individuals. In this challenging endeavour teachers have a key role to play no matter what their subject area is, for they determine what will be taught and how it will be taught regarding democracy education. In this context, before studying how teachers undertake this responsibility and make room for democratic practices in their classrooms, it would be wise to research what democratic values and attitudes teachers themselves have since they certainly have an impact on teachers’ decisions and practices. On the other hand, another powerful cognitive construct, i.e. self-efficacy beliefs, also affects these decisions and practices. According to Bandura (1989: 1175) among the mechanisms of personal behaviour‘none is more central or pervasive than people’s beliefs about their capabilities to exercise control over events that affect their lives’, that is they determine human motivation, affect, and action. For teachers, similarly, having a high perception of self-efficacy plays a major role in how they approach goals, undertake tasks and brave challenges .  \nThere have been several studies examining the self efficacy perceptions of both in and pre-service teachers in relation to several factors related to classroom life, instructional startegies employed, student motivation and achievement (see for example Ashton and Webb, 1986; Guskey and Passaro, 1994; Swars, 2005; Eslami and Fatahi, 2008; Caprara et al, 2006; Tella, 2008). However, the likely relationship between democratic values and self efficacy perceptions of pre-service teachers has not been investigated much so far (see Shechtman, 2002; Almog and Shechtman, 2007) . Seeing this gap in the literature, thus, this study looks into the relationship between democratic values of pre-service English language teachers related to educational life and their teaching self-efficacy perceptions in a Turkish context and tries to find answers to the following research questions:  \n1. What are the democratic values of pre-service English language teachers related to educational life?  \n2. Is there a significant relationship between the democratic values of the pre-service teachers and their gender, the grade level and their plans after graduation?  \nVol 36, 8, August 2011 32  \nAustralian Journal of Teacher Education  \n3. What are the teacher efficacy perceptions of pre-service English language teachers?  \n4. Is there a significant relationship between the teacher efficacy perceptions of the pre-service teachers and their gender, the grade level and their plans after graduation?  \n5.
