40398

The purpose of this study is to determine prospective teachers’ perceptions concerning blended learning course design supported by Quantum learning design framework by using Q method. The current research is significant in that it attempts to unearth the points that prospective teachers reached a consensus about the process, make evaluations about the phases which were considered to be the most important by determining their significance level and make inferences towards practice. Research data were gathered from 31 3rd year-prospective teachers studying at Mathematics Teaching Department of Gaziantep Education Faculty in 2014-2015 academic year through a Q-set and judgment statements prepared by the researcher. PQMETHOD 2.35 software was used to analyse the data. As a consequence of data analysis, it was found that prospective teachers reached a positive agreement on the course process, and mostly enjoyed taking part in the activities in which they were active. Based on the research results, it may be suggested that the practices that students can take an active role need to be included in blended learning course designs.
