The study was carried out on 152 (76 being the experimental group, 76 control group) student teacher candidates having pedagogical formation education at Firat University Faculty of Education in 2010-2011 academic year. The pretest post-test control group design was used in the study, which was carried out using experimental method. Experimental and control groups were formed without bias prior to the experiment. The experiment lasted for four weeks. Throughout the experiment, the experimental group was taught using webBlog-based instruction and control group was taught using traditional method (explanation, question-answer). The data for the study were obtained via “Metacognitive Awareness Inventory” developed by Schraw and Dennison (1994). As a result of the analysis of the data, it was found that web-Blog based instruction had a significant effect on the meta-cognition levels of student teacher candidates.
