TEACHER CANDIDATES' OPINIONS ON PINTEREST AND USE OF PINTEREST IN EDUCATION

Öz

This study aims to examine prospective teachers' views on Pinterest and the use of Pinterest in education. To this end, a qualitative method was followed and a phenomenological model was used. The participants in the study were 27 female and four male prospective teachers studying at the Faculty of Education at İnönü University, and the participants were determined using purposive sampling. Data were collected during the fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. In this context, after explaining the content and process of this research to the teacher candidates using Pinterest, the researchers conducted face-to-face interviews with those who volunteered to participate in the research process, lasting between 7 and 15 minutes. The data obtained from the participants were analyzed using content analysis. However, descriptive analyses were also used from time to time. During the analysis process, the transcripts of this study were transferred to the MAXQDA 2020 program. Then, the researchers independently and jointly created codes, sub-themes, and themes from each of the participants' statements. As a result of the analyses, three main themes were identified: "Pre-vocational training,” "Using in the profession" and "Professional attitudes and values.” The research findings revealed that the vast majority of teacher candidates found Pinterest to be highly functional from an educational perspective and emphasized the need for its active use both during pre-service education and in the professional process.
