Abstract
In this study was aimed to determine the effects of video blog activities performed in Character and Value Education (CVE) lesson on the attitudes of prospective teachers towards value education and their opinions regarding these activities. Mixed research method was used in the study. In the quantitative dimension of the study, experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was used. In order to collect quantitative data in the study, Attitude towards Value Education (AVE) Scale was applied to the control and experimental groups at the beginning and end of the lessons as pretest and posttest. The qualitative dimension of the study consists of semi-structured interviews with 11 prospective teachers participating in video blog activities. In the courses conducted with the experimental group, video blog activities were carried out during the regular class time in addition to the normal course content. In video blog activities, case study videos were shared on the blog, and prospective teachers were asked to watch and interpret them outside of class hours. As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the attitudes of the groups towards values education in favor of the experimental group. In addition, it was observed that there was a significant difference in favor of posttest scores in the pre-test and posttest scores of the experimental group teacher candidates according to the factors of the AVE scale, "belief in the need for values education", "internalize value education" and "negative belief in value education" factors. Moreover, prospective teachers commented that video blog applications make CVE lessons more memorable and interesting, and facilitate students' participation.
