Özet: Abstract This study is a descriptive one that aims to find out the level of individual innovativeness and their tendencies towards lifelong learning. The participants of the study are 290 primary school teachers in Denizli city center from different branchies such as Maths, Science and Technology, Turkish, Social Studies and English. To collect the relevant data, “Lifelong Learning Tendency Scale” which was developed by Diker Çoşkun (2009) and “Individual Innovativeness Scale” adapted into Turkish by Kılıçer and Odabaşı (2010) were used. It was found that the tendencies of the teachers towards lifelong learning are high; however, the level of individual innovativeness is low. The findings state that gender has a significant effect in the tendency of teachers towards lifelong learning, on the other hand, gender, branch and length of service has no significant effect on individual innovativeness. When the total points of the scales compared, there is no significant relationship between the tendency of the lifelong learning and individual innovativeness level, yet it was found that there is some relationship between the tendency of the lifelong learning and individual innovativeness level when the sub-dimensions of the scales were compared.
