This study aims to compare two different learning environments designed online in terms of
their contributions to developing mathematical modeling competencies. A triangulation
research method was employed in the research. In this method, qualitative and quantitative
research methods are used together. The participants consisted of 53 fourth-class pre-service
teachers studying at a university’s mathematical teaching department. While the quantitative
data were analyzed with the paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon test, the qualitative data were
analyzed with the content analysis. As a result, while a significant difference was found in
favor of the post-test between the modeling competencies of the pre-service teachers who
attended the distance education in groups, the modeling competencies of the pre-service
teachers who attended individually did not differ. In addition, it was observed that the
participants who attended individually had difficulty expressing themselves throughout the
process. It was determined that those who worked with groups tried to verify their results
more modeling than those who participated individually.
