Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the problem-based quantum learning model in distance education on the cooperative learning, self-efficacy beliefs, and metacognitive thinking skills of pre-service teachers and their views on the model. In this research, an experimental research method was used. The participants were English Language Teaching program students studying in the 2nd class in a state university in Turkey. The data were collected by Student Letters, Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale, Metacognitive Thinking Skills Scale, and Attitude Scale for Cooperative Learning. In the analysis of quantitative data, t-test from parametric tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank test from non-parametric tests were used and in the analysis of qualitative data, the content analysis method was used. According to the data obtained from the research, it was concluded that the problem-based quantum learning model positively affected the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards cooperative learning and group work, their self-efficacy perceptions, problem-solving, thinking, research, and decision-making skills. Also, it was concluded that this model was effective in learning the content of the course, learning the information, and increasing the desire to learn, their attitudes towards the model changed, and the model was effective and fun.
