Abstract:
This research aims to examine the readiness of pre-service social studies teachers for online learning. It was investigated whether the readiness of pre-service social studies teachers for online learning varies by gender, grade, way of getting internet access, device used in online learning, and level of computer use. In the academic year 2021–2022, 94 pre-service social studies teachers from a public university in Turkey’s Eastern Black Sea region compose the sample for the study. The data were collected using the "Readiness Scale for Online Learning," which had been translated into Turkish. The survey model, one of the quantitative research designs, was employed for the analysis of the data obtained within the scope of the study. The SPSS program was used to analyze the data. The collected data were tabulated and interpreted. As a result, it was observed that the readiness level of pre-service social studies teachers for online learning was above the average.
