“…There are not many relational studies on which characteristics of individuals should be strengthened and which characteristics should be gained to individuals in gaining social justice attitudes. Similarly, a systematic review of the studies on critical thinking skills and CT disposition with pre-service teachers in Turkey revealed that the subject was mainly handled from a traditional perspective and that the studies addressing the subject from a critical perspective (e.g., critical thinking as part of democratic citizenship and socially constructed skill) were limited (Yıldırım-Taştı & Yıldırım, 2022). As a result, when considered in terms of the literature and the characteristics of the concepts, it is thought that CT disposition and SP responsibility level will contribute to the answer to the question of "which individual characteristics or variables should be emphasized in studies on the development of social justice attitude" and the applications related to the subject.…”

The increase in diversity in society and, thus, in schools brings the possibility of an increase in the number of students exposed to prejudice and discrimination due to their differences. Therefore, there is a need for teachers who can support students' perceptions of social justice. This study aims to examine the predictive power of CT disposition and SP responsibility on social justice attitudes in prospective social studies teachers. 341 prospective social studies teachers from universities in various cities of Turkey participated in the study. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that CT disposition predicted social justice, while SP responsibility did not have a significant effect. The study's results underline the importance of increasing CT disposition to increase prospective teachers' social justice attitudes. It is necessary to include CT disposition development in studies on social justice.

Introduction:Today, thanks to information technologies including Web 2.0 technology, educators can make their lessons more efficient and understandable. In addition, they can encourage active participation of students in this way. With the increase of online education applications during the Covid-19 epidemic in the world, the use of Web 2.0 tools in education has also increased. Methods:Explanatory design, one of the mixed research methods, was used in this research. Within the scope of this research, a questionnaire was applied to the participants to determine their perceptions about Web 2.0 tools, and then interviews were conducted with interview questions created in line with the analysis of quantitative data. 69 pre-service teachers from a large Turkish state university participated in the quantitative stage of the research and five students participated in the qualitative stage. Results: In line with the data obtained, it was concluded that the music teacher candidates’ perceptions of Web 2.0 tools were high. Discussion: In the survey application, which forms the basis of the quantitative step of the research, it is seen that the majority of students gave the answer “I agree” or “strongly agree” to survey items. Especially in 2020, with the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide, distance education been implemented for a while thanks to technology, and this situation brought teachers and students closer to technology and improved their usage skills. In addition, these skills are supported by the use of Web 2.0 tools and it is seen that teacher candidates also have a perception towards this. Limitations: The research was limited to 69 students who voluntarily accepted. Conclusions: Although Web 2.0 tools have not yet been used effectively by music students, the importance of these tools in terms of the active role of students in the course has been understood.
