It is becoming more widespread. Therefore, teachers and prospective teachers are expected to be competent in blended learning. The aim of this study is to determine the views of social studies prospective teachers on blended learning. The data of this study, which was carried out in the basic qualitative research design, were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed inductively using the NVivo12 software. As a result of the research, it is seen that blended learning saves time and enables multidimensional learning. On the other hand, technological inadequacies and reduced socialization are seen as limitations of this approach.

All of the participants say that they do not have sufficient knowledge about the application process and models of blended learning and they consider their undergraduate education insufficient in this regard.
