Investigating Pre-service Teachers' Views on Cloud-Based Peer Instruction

The purpose of the study was to analyze pre-service teachers\' views on cloud-based peer tutoring. A qualitative research method was used in this study. The study group consisted of students studying in the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies (CEIT) of the Faculty of Education and taking the programming course. Peer groups were interviewed using a semi-structured interview form to understand their opinions regarding the cloud-based peer learning (CBPL) method. Data obtained from the research were analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study suggested that the process was beneficial to peer groups as it provided communication and cooperation, different perspectives, responsibility, and self-confidence, thus turning the learning process into a fun experience. Based on the participants\' feedback, the method enabled them to develop professional knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. In light of the results obtained, various recommendations were made regarding the CBPL method.
