“…Pre-service teachers usually made superficial remarks in the comments, they did not explain the facts in detail. Ebrahimi, Faghih and Dabir-Moghaddam (2016) emphasized that online educators should find the ways of encouraging students to express their opinions clearly and criticizing others' views because most of the pre-service teachers gain cognitive benefits from their participation in the discussion, rather than affective and communal benefits. As a result, the dialogues occurred in online environment, which include unguided explanations and views of pre-service teachers, stay at basic level and lack detailed views of pre-service teachers.…”

This empirical study attempted to investigate the effect of using online communities of practice in teacher education on pre-service teachers' critical thinking dispositions. California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory and the comments posted to the online community of practice were used as the data collection tools. Results showed that online communities of practice did not affect pre-service teachers' overall critical thinking disposition significantly. However, research results revealed that the scores that pre-service teachers have achieved from self-confidence and open-mindedness sub-factors of the inventory have significantly differentiated in favor of the pre-service teachers in the experimental group. The statements that pre-service teachers have made on their comments were weak in terms of critical thinking. Pre-service teachers have mostly expressed their own views and they have usually supported each other by providing positive opinions. Therefore, it is thought that online communities of practice affect positively only pre-service teachers' self-confidence tendency and the abilities to express their own opinions.
