Özet

In contrast to educational methods, which is using ready-made technology, in this study, activities were designed aiming at improving pre-service physics teachers’ computer-aided material development skills. The study was realized in the “Teaching Technologies and Material Design” course at the Physics Education program of a state university in Ankara. During this process, pre-service teachers have been guided not only to use technology-based pre-made course materials but also to prepare their own course materials. For material designs, GeoGebra was preferred because it is free and multilingual dynamic software. During the evaluation phase, the product was handled together with the process taking into consideration material design criteria. As a result, it was determined that pre-service physics teachers gained the ability to develop their own course materials using GeoGebra. It was seen that pre-service physics teachers could be used GeoGebra in the physics classes as a supporting software, too.
