The Effect of Web-Supported Learning Environments on the Performance of Teacher Candidates within the Mathematics Course

Abstract

The purpose of this study is; web supported learning environments to the success of teacher candidates within the scope of mathematics lesson. An experimental design model with pre-test and post-test control group was used in the study. The working group constitutes a total of 60 teacher candidates in the first and second years of education in the department of Elementary Teaching and Preschool Teaching of a private university in 2016-2017 academic year in Northern Cyprus. As a means of data collection, mathematics achievement test consisting of 30 questions was administered as pre-test, and after the study the same success test was administered as a final test. As a result of the findings, it has been determined that the teacher candidates have a significant increase in their successes due to the teaching practices in web based learning environments. At the same time, it has been shown that the mathematical success of the prospective teachers in web based learning environments differ statistically significantly compared to the teacher candidates who take lessons in face learning environments and this difference is in favour of web based learning environments.
