In this paper, we deal with Stancu operators which depend on a non-negative integer parameter. Firstly, we define Kantorovich extension of the operators. For functions belonging to the space L p [0, 1] , 1 ≤ p < ∞, we obtain convergence in the norm of L p by the sequence of Stancu-Kantorovich operators, and we give an estimate for the rate of the convergence via first order averaged modulus of smoothness. Moreover, for the Stancu operators; we search variation detracting property and convergence in the space of functions of bounded variation in the variation seminorm.
