The aim of this study is to reveal teachers' perceptions of themselves as clinicians, knowledge transmitters, performers, and leaders in Turkey and Ireland. The research sample was composed of 211 teachers in Turkey and 134 teachers in Ireland. The scale named 'The Roles of Teachers' was developed by the researchers and used in this study. The teachers demonstrated similar roles and their perceptions about teaching were similar across the two cultures, indicating that, despite their different cultures, the impact of globalization could establish a common culture.
