Abstract :The purpose of study is to examine the effectiveness of the computer and internet-supported science lesson in terms of pre-service science teachers’ attitudes toward computer and internet-based learning. Participants were forty-seven preservice science teachers who were enrolled in the Computer class. The computer attitude scale and the attitude scale toward internet-based learning were used as data sources. The instruments were administrated to the pre-service science teachers at the beginning of the semester as pre-tests and again at the end of the semester as post-tests. Data gathered from pre- and post- administration were analyzed for each of the instruments. The results indicate that such learning experiences have positive effects on pre-service science teachers regarding enhancing more positive attitudes toward computer and internet-based learning and teachingKeywords : Computer and internet based learning, pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward technology, teacher education
