Researcherly
disposition is a quality which is rarely studied with pre-service teachers. For
developing researcherly disposition, online networks are borught to agenda now
rather than libraries. This study aims to design an online professional
learning network (PLN) and to investigate its effect on pre-service teachers’
researcherly dispositions. In this study, a mobile app has been designed for
pre-service teachers containing a multiple of educator networks such as
Edutopia, Classroom 2.0, Edchat etc. Concurrent embedded experimental mixed
design is used as a research method. Related Samples T-Tests, ANCOVA are used
for analysis of quantitative data; and content analysis method is used for
analysis of qualitative data. Findings
indicate that online professional learning networks provide good opportunities
of research. They are more effective than portfolios in terms of developing
researcherly disposition. Online professional learning networks increase
pre-service teachers’ research-based decisions, their sharing of educational
studies. Also, they help pre-service teachers to value research and update
their instructional knowledge.
