The aim of this study was trying to identify net etiquette behaviors of preservice teachers. Survey model was used for the study. Participants of the study were 113 male, and 202 female in total 315 Faculty of Educational Sciences students at Ankara University. Participating preservice teachers’ ages were between 18 and 50 years old and mean was 24.5. There were 37 Likert scale items. To identify the preservice teachers’ net etiquette behaviors while using internet and social networks independent group t-Test, linear regression and Variance Analysis were used. Based on the findings male participants were spending more time online than female. According to internet usage, male participants sow themselves at expert level while female sow themselves moderately. As age increases, the number of people who consider themselves experts decreases. While the netethical behaviors of the teacher candidates do not show any meaningful difference according to sex, they show significant differences according to age, department and class levels. The netiquette behavior of female teacher candidates was higher than that of male. Netiquette behaviors of teacher candidates registered to foreign language program according to department variable; were higher than candidates enrolled in Physics, BÖTE and Turkish Language and Literature programs respectively. The netiquette behavior scores also increased as the grade level of the teacher candidates increased. On the other hand, it seems that teacher candidates have a significant predictor of their net-ethical behavior, whereas the average number of years spent using the internet and using the internet does not seem to have any significant effect.
