• This case study aimed to investigate whether the perceived satisfaction, collaboration, and social presence of pre-service teachers predicted their achievement in a blended learning environment and differed significantly according to their gender and departments. This study was conducted during the fall semester of 2019-2020 for six weeks at an educational sciences course in a public university in Turkey. 149 pre-service teachers were chosen according to the purposive sampling method. In this study, the course design was based on the 'Blending with Purpose' multimodal model, and data were collected through course grades and the application of the 'Satisfaction, Collaboration and Social Presence Scale'. After conducting the descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, it was found that satisfaction, collaboration, social presence, and academic achievement of pre-service teachers correlated significantly in a positive direction, but only the satisfaction in the course predicted their achievement. Also, this study found some significant differences in terms of gender and department according to the academic achievement, satisfaction, collaboration, and social presence of pre-service teachers. The possible explanations for these results were examined and discussed in detail.
