Abstract :
The aim of this study is to evaluate the course materials developed for biology teaching in Instructional Technologies and Material Design course by the pre-service biology teachers. The research group consist of 34 students who attending Instructional Technologies and Material Design course and studying at Department of Biology Education of Ziya Gökalp Education Faculty in Dicle University. The evaluation questionnaire which includes 17 items developed by İşman (2008) was used as data collection tool. Materials are organized as follows: Classical Educational Technologies 1 (black board, white board, magnetic board, swivel plate, etc.); Classical Educational Technologies 2 (graphics, modelsampling, posters, etc.).; Modern Educational Technologies (video-TV, overhead projector, data projector, smart board, etc.). The findings of the means as follows: Classical Education Technology 1 X/bar/ = 3.62; Classic Educational Technology 2 X/bar/ = 3.64, respectively Modern Education Technology X/bar/ = 3.81. As a result, pe-service biology teachers’ views about Modern Education Technology were more positive. Technology laboratories can be established for the students to prepare the materials. Also; the course time can be increased.
