Abstract :The aim of this study is to increase the awareness of primary, secondary and high school teachers regarding Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) as well as to help them to benefit from these media and to determine their opinions about these courses. As a result of the study, the results of the MOOC media through which the experimental group was trained and the blended learning training model of the control group were compared. Therefore, the aim is to provide guidance for the continual discussions about the effectiveness of MOOC. In the study, blended training was given to 33 teachers, whereas a complete online course on a formed platform was given to 34 teachers; consequently, the opinions and the success levels of the teachers were compared. The resulting data of the study was obtained from an opinion scale given to the teachers as well as a media evaluation form. The obtained qualitative and quantitative data were analysed and have been presented in the findings section.
