Abstract

Researcherly disposition is a quality which is rarely studied with pre-service teachers. For developing researcherly disposition, online networks are borught to agenda now rather than libraries. This study aims to design an online professional learning network (PLN) and to investigate its effect on pre-service teachers’ researcherly dispositions. In this study, a mobile app has been designed for pre-service teachers containing a multiple of educator networks such as Edutopia, Classroom 2.0, Edchat etc. Concurrent embedded experimental mixed design is used as a research method. Related Samples T-Tests, ANCOVA are used for analysis of quantitative data; and content analysis method is used for analysis of qualitative data. Findings indicate that online professional learning networks provide good opportunities of research. They are more effective than portfolios in terms of developing researcherly disposition. Online professional learning networks increase pre-service teachers’ research-based decisions, their sharing of educational studies. Also, they help pre-service teachers to value research and update their instructional knowledge.
