Özet: This study aims at determining students views about UZWEBMAT, which is an individualized e-learning environment.  UZWEBMAT is an adaptive and intelligent individualized e-learning environment, which was developed for teaching of the unit of probability, which is one of the topics included in 10th grade mathematics curriculum.  The present study was conducted in the 2010-2011 spring semester. The sample of the study is 81 10th grade students from two high schools in Trabzon, Turkey. In order to answer the research questions about the evaluation of UZWEBMAT in mathematics teaching, qualitative data were obtained from the students participating in the study. Obtained data were analyzed by using qualitative data analysis techniques. According to the research results, among the prominent positive student views are education is provided in accordance with differences between individual learning styles, mathematical relations and formulas are acquired via discovery, permanent learning is provided, and learning responsibility is laid on the student. Considering these results, it can be said that UZWEBMAT provides students with a learning environment complying with their individual learning characteristics and needs.
