Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine what the teacher candidates expect from the university and faculty web-sites who have recently been placed in the university and what kind of information they search. The research was figured as Phenomenological Research. The research was carried out with the teacher candidates who had recently been placed in a state university, in the first week of the commencement date of the education, using a semi-structured interview form. When the expectations of the teacher candidates from the university and faculty web-sites who enrolled in the university were analyzed, it was detected that students delivered opinions on the faculty photographs, information about the instructors, general information, university location, departments, announcements, course contents, postgraduate education opportunities and regulations. When the teacher candidates who have recently enrolled in the university, besides general visitors, are concerned, inclusion of the general information, in other words introductory information about university on the web-pages of the university and prominent design of the site in a manner to attract the visitors will facilitate the access of the visitors to such information.
