The purpose of this study was to determine the factors motivating pre-service teachers for online learning within the context of ARCS motivation model. The study, in which the phenomenology model was used, was carried out with 52 pre-service teachers attending the department of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies at the Education Faculty of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in Turkey. The participants were experienced in online learning. In the study, the data were collected with an open-ended questionnaire within the framework of the ARCS motivation model.
