Giventhatwe live in a modern society characterized by social networks and the development of Web 2.0 technology, it seems that conspiracy theories have spread more than ever. Conspiracy theories have indeed been around as long as civilization, and it is just that the availability of technology has made them more visible. Conspiracy theories are most prevalent during periods of heightened anxiety, such as earthquakes, global pandemics, andwars. One such period isthe global COVID-19 pandemic that we have encountered in the recent past. The content of conspiracy theories is emotionally charged. People who have a sense of control over their lives will be more resistant to conspiracy theories, while on the other hand, we have people who feel powerless, which can increase their tendency to believe. The amount of conspiracy theories that have been developed is so tremendous that it is impossible to list all the theories we have heard or are likely to encounter. In the thesis, we will mention the origin of conspiracy theories, their definition, the problems they cause, and the cause-and-effect relationship between social networks and the spread of conspiracy theories. In the central part of the thesis, research was conducted among students of the Faculty of Education to gain insight into their awareness and knowledge of conspiracy theories and their views on the availability of conspiracy theories on social networks and their connection.
