Abstract: At the basic education level, content related to disasters is included in the scope of courses such as Life Sciences, Science, and Social Studies. Studies reveal that teachers and pre-service teachers who conduct these courses are not equipped with the necessary technological and pedagogical skills. It is predicted that integrating disasters and disaster education, which have an interdisciplinary structure, with Web 2.0 technologies, one of today's digital learning tools, will make significant contributions to making disaster education effective. In this framework, the study aimed to design a "Digital Disaster Education Program" in an online learning environment for pre-service primary school, science and social sciences teachers. The study consists of three main parts: designing, implementing, and evaluating the Digital Disaster Education Program. Taba (Grassroots Rationale) model was used in the design of the program. The program, which had a five-day implementation period in the online environment, was repeated three times on different dates and with different participants within a year. In each implementation, 24 pre-service social studies, 24 pre-service science, and 24 pre-service primary school teachers (72 pre-service teachers in total) from across Turkey participated voluntarily. The digital disaster education materials developed by the participants during the program were evaluated with an analytical rubric. As a result, an example of Web 2.0 supported online disaster education programme based on Taba Model has emerged. After the evaluation process, some of the participant products were entitled to receive support by being projected toThe Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBITAK), which is one of the reflections of the positive results of the process. At the end of the study, suggestions were presented for the acquisition of disaster education and digital teaching skills in the pre-service process.
