This study aims to determine the ideas about project and project studies of teachers working at social and science branches of high schools. To accomplish this, a survey including twenty-five items about project attitudes scale and personal information was administrated to 10 social branch teachers and 15 science branch teachers working in Erzurum, Turkey. Studies of frequency, arithmetic mean, percentage, t-test and ANOVA techniques were used to analyze the obtained data. The results show that teachers are more optimistic in social branches towards project and project studies than those working in science branches. In addition, there is no statistically meaningful relationship among science and social science teachers' approaches to project studies, teachers' experiences, academic careers and project attendance. Finally, with results, suggestions on the effective usage of project studies are given. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
