In this way, teacher candidates can be better at solving social problems and be more aware of and more sensitive to the social problems and contribute to social development. In the research, it has been aimed to determine the functions and features of the websites of the state and private universities which are offered to the candidate students, current students of the faculties of education and the other users; and it has also been aimed to evaluate these websites in terms of social service practices.
