The use of the web in teaching and learning and research studies on this issue
are increasingly common in science education. In most of these studies, teachers’ and students’
perceptions of and their attitudes toward the specific web-assisted/based learning activities
and the effects of these activities on their achievement and attitudes have been investigated.
In the current study, the researcher placed emphasis on the perceptions about
physics education related websites on the Internet among users of these sites using a causalcomparative
research design. The purpose of the current study was to have detailed information
on web users’ preferences and perceptions on the use of the web and to see if demographics
are responsible for differences on web users’ perceptions on the use of web in
physics education. In order to achieve this aim, an online instrument, Perceptions of the Internet
and Education Scale, was developed by the author and the data collected using this
instrument. The statistical analyses were carried out with the data from 340 web-users of a
physics education related website. The results of the study showed that web users’ gender,
occupation, and time spent on the Internet were factors that explained the changes in the
perceptions of physics education web users. However, web users’ age and past experiences
with the Internet were not causes of that difference.
