Abstract (2. Language):
Nowadays, educational systems are being questionned to find effective solutions to
problems that are being encountered, and discussions are centered on the ways of
restructuring systems so as to overcome difficulties. As the consequences of the
traditional teaching approach, we can indicate that the taught material is not longlasting
but easily forgotten, that students do not sufficiently acquire the knowledge
and skills that are aimed at developing, and that students lack transferring their
knowledge to real life. In our current situation, individuals prefer to use educational
resources where and when they want, based on their individual skills and abilities.
Throughout the world, because the internet infrastructure has developed quite rapidly,
it has been offered as an alternative way for a rich learning and teaching environment.
This study aims at determining teacher candidates’ preferences regarding internetbased
learning environments in student-centered education by involving the teacher
candidates enrolled at Osmangazi University, Faculty of Education, Primary School
Teaching, Mathematics Teaching and Computer and Educational Technologies
Education programmes. This study is a descriptive study. The data collection scale
consists of the “Constructivist Internet-based Education of Science Scale (CILES-S)”.
The sample group of teacher candidates in the study showed differences with respect
to their preferences regarding internet-based learning in student-centered education.
The candidates scored higher in the internet-based learning environments of Cognitive
Development and Critical Judgement. The lowest average scores of the sample group
were observed in the internet-based learning environment of Episthemologic
awareness.
