Activity-based instruction is one of the teaching approaches used in the education of student teachers at teacher education. This study examined the effects of activity-based instruction on the views and learning outcomes of the student teachers. To this end, activity-based instruction approach was applied during the instruction on the experimental group and traditional learning method was applied on the control group. Poster study, puzzle and card activity were the main activities used for instruction in the experimental group during the study. The results showed no significant differences in the pre-test scores (p>.05) and the post-test scores (p>.05) between the experimental and control groups. These statistical results are different from those found in similar studies, which is found to be worthy of consideration.
