With the changing world, technology and the web are becoming an inevitable necessity for children in early childhood, especially during the pandemic in which the web has become the only way to continue teaching via distance education. Therefore, web pedagogical content knowledge of teachers and other professionals related to ECE who will directly or indirectly affect previous experiences with children gains importance to provide meaningful experiences. As a result, the current study aims to explore ECE teachers, pre-service teachers, and academicians' web pedagogical knowledge.
