The present study aims to determine citizenship culture training components among 3300 secondary school teachers out of which 300 individuals were selected using stratified random sampling for the sample group. A questionnaire with high Alpha Chronbach reliability coefficient of 0.95 including components of national identity, law acceptance and human behaviours and relation was used as data collection method. Content and face validity of the questionnaire as well as its structural validity were validated using experts of the field and component analysis respectively. The findings of the study indicated that the highest Component score coefficients in the national identity dimension belonged to the “learning the national language and literature” component (0.817) whereas the lowest Component score coefficients belonged to that of the “emphasis on the gratitude of the revolution” and “learning the national rituals and ceremonies” components (0.732).The highest Component score coefficients in the law-orientation dimension belonged to the “learning the citizenship rights with the emphasis on children rights” component (0.884) whereas the lowest Component score coefficients belonged to that of the “consequences of law defiance and avoidance” component (0.803).The highest Component score coefficients in the human behaviours and relations’’ dimension belonged to the “learning the required skills for and effective life” component (0.896) whereas the lowest Component score coefficients belonged to that of the “learning responsibility-taking areas” component (0.680). The results of the one sample T-test also revealed that the mean of the above-mentioned dimensions was above average for determining citizenship culture training components.
