A survey model has beenconducted on a study group consisting of 344 final year pre-service science teachers at six different state universities inTurkey during the academic year of 2017–2018. The ‘personal information form’, the ‘Web 2.0 applications usage situationsurvey’ and the ‘TPACK self-efficacy belief scale’ were employed. Data obtained from the study group have been analysedwith the ‘SPSS Statistics 23’ software, a t-test and the ANOVA test have been carried out, a Pearson correlation analysis and aTamhane test has been conducted. The results show a significant relationship between TPACK self-efficacy belief levels andthe variables involved in pre-service science teachers use of Web 2.0 applications.Keywords: Science education, pre-service science teacher, technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), selfefficacybeliefs, Web 2.0 applications.
