Özet: The purpose of this study is to explore the reasons of online learner participation in blended learning environments. The study group consisted of 14 graduate students, who had prior learning experiences in blended learning. In this study, semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were made and these interviews were coded and analyzed in NVivo. At first data divided into two categories as “participation” and “nonparticipation”. Then four categories, which are named as “willingly participation”, “unwillingly participation”, “willingly nonparticipation”, and “unwillingly nonparticipation”. For “willingly participation”, two themes were identified as benefit and interest. For “unwillingly participation”, the themes were responsibility and suppression. For “willingly nonparticipation” four themes were identified as bad design, not interesting, not benefiting, and existence of face to face opportunity. Suppression, work overload, shortage of time, and hesitation were identified as themes of “unwillingly nonparticipation”.
