Abstract (2. Language): 
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether gender was a great factor with regard to the motivational level of pre-service social studies teachers who designed webQuest-based applications in an instructional technologies and material design course. There were a total of 68 pre-service social studies teachers, 29 males and 39 females, involved in this study. The researchers used a likert-type questionnaire including of 34 negative and positive statements. This questionnaire designed to evaluate a situational measure of ones’ motivation was used as Pre-and-Posttests in the study that took place in 7 weeks. It was administered to the participants by the researchers before and after the instruction during a single class period. In the analysis of the quantitative data, the independent-samples t-test, the paired-samples t-test and ANCOVA with  = .05 were employed. The study reported that there was no statistically significant difference found in regard to motivational level between male and female pre-service social studies teachers who designed webQuest- based applications.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmanın amacı, materyal geliştirme dersinde bir öğretim teknolojisi olan webQuest-tabanlı uygulamalarla çalışan sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni adaylarının motivasyon seviyeleri üzerinde cinsiyetin bir etkiye sahip olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Bu amaçla 29 erkek ve 39 bayan olmak üzere toplam 68 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni adayı çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Araştımada veriler negative ve pozitif ifadelerden oluşan 34 soruluk bir motivasyon ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. 7 hafta süren çalışmada motivasyon ölçeği ön-son test olarak bir ders saati süresince çalışmadan once ve çalışma sonrasında öğretmen adaylarına uygulanmıştır. Nicel verilerin analizinde bağımsız iki örnek t-testi, bağımlı iki örnek t-testi ve  = .05 için ANCOVA analizleri yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar webQuest temelli uygulamalar yapan bayan ve erkek sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının motivasyon seviyeleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılığın olmadığını göstermektedir.
