Abstract
This study aimed to determine the opinions of teacher candidates about distance learning in online courses using a survey designed for this purpose. The researchers designed a questionnaire, titled “The opinion of teacher candidates about distance learning in online courses survey instrument” to collect quantitative data from teacher candidates (n= 1056, 55.3% females) who lived in urban, rural, and suburban areas in Turkey. The original version of the survey consisted of 30 items. The authors of this article used the snowball data collection method to collect data. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage analysis were applied for the items in the data collection tool. In response to the first research question of the research, most male and female candidates indicated that they could use the Internet continuously wherever they were. Approximately two-thirds of female and male candidates remarked Internet outages as more hardware problems during class participation. As for the second research question, most of the candidates stated that they had limited internet access at home and could use it continuously on a daily basis.
