Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the distance education process through the perspective of associate degree programs and to identify crucial issues for potential future pandemics.
Methods: The study group (n=166) consisted of associate degree students of the Anesthetic Technician, Emergency Medical Technician, and Medical Imaging Technician Programs. Data were collected through an electronic questionnaire regarding main headings: “Theoretical Courses, Practical Courses, and Professional Development”, “Course Participation and Motivation”, “Measurement and Evaluation”, and “Student Suggestions for Distance Education”. Questions and statements were scored by 5-point Likert.
Results: When the effects of distance education “On the level of internalization of the profession” and “On the effect on professional competencies” were assessed, the scores of Medical Imaging Technician Program students were lower than the scores of Anesthetic Technician Program students and Emergency Medical Technician Program students (p<0.05). Most of students from Anesthetic Technician Program (96.7%) prefer “YouTube content to support their learning, in addition to the course content offered by the faculty member”. In addition, 55.7% of Anesthetic Technician Program students stated that the “Ideal education model is a hybrid model that combines face-to-face and distance education”.
