Özet:

 In todays society, where the internet and social media usage is relatively widespread, it is likely to observe a transformation profoundly affecting the masses globally in many disciplines, from education to cultural life and interpersonal relationships. Indeed, the substantial advancement in communication technologies towards the end of the 20th century has significantly boosted the use of social networks. This study aimed to ascertain preservice prospective teachers attitudes toward social media in this direction. The study employed survey research, one of the quantitative research approaches, selecting a sample group using the maximum variation sampling method. Additionally, data were collected using the social media attitude scale. As a result, the study findings revealed that preservice teachers attitudes toward social media were moderately positive and did not differ based on gender. However, their attitudes toward social media significantly varied based on the department they studied. Accordingly, the students attitudes toward social media in the elementary school mathematics teaching department significantly differed from those who studied in Turkish teaching, psychological counseling and guidance, and social studies teaching departments.

 İnternet ve sosyal medya kullanımının oldukça yaygınlaştığı günümüzde eğitimden kültürel hayata, bireysel ilişkilere kadar pek çok alanda ve global düzeyde kitleleri derinden etkileyen bir değişimin meydana geldiğini söylemek mümkündür. Nitekim 20. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru iletişim teknolojilerinde meydana gelen büyük değişim, sosyal paylaşım ağlarının kullanımını da önemli ölçüde artırmıştır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının sosyal medyaya ilişkin tutumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama araştırması kullanılmış ve örneklem grubunun belirlenmesinde ise maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak sosyal medya tutum ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının sosyal medyaya ilişkin tutumlarının orta düzeyde ve olumlu yönde olduğu ve cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının sosyal medyaya ilişkin tutumunun öğrenim görülen bölüme göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. İlköğretim matematik öğretmenliği öğrencilerinin sosyal medyaya ilişkin tutumları ile Türkçe öğretmenliği, rehberlik ve psikolojik danışmanlık ve sosyal bilgiler öğretmenliği bölümleri arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu görülmektedir.
