Abstract
This research aims to determine the satisfaction levels of teacher candidates for distance (online) education practices and to evaluate them according to certain variables. Therefore, a survey from quantitative models was used to reveal an existing situation. The research sample was determined among the candidates studying at the Faculty of Education at Bayburt University. Depending on the purpose of the research, the Satisfaction Scale for University Students' Distance Education Applications was used to collect the data. The data obtained in the research were analyzed using the SPSS 16.0 program in line with the research purpose and sub-problems, and the findings were presented and interpreted in tables. Quantitative statistics were used to analyse the data on the satisfaction levels of teacher candidates for distance (online) education applications. As a result of the research, it was determined that the teacher candidates who received pre-service training had a positive level of satisfaction with distance (online) learning practices in the Agree range. It was seen that the grade in which the candidates studied did not significantly affect satisfaction with distance education, but 4th-grade students had higher satisfaction.
