Araştırmanın bulgularında, öğretim üyelerinin uzaktan eğitim sürecinde yaşadıkları güçlü yönler temasında en fazla ailelerin yapacağı ulaşım, barınma, konaklama, beslenme gibi ek harcama kalemleri ortadan kalkmış olması, zayıf yönler temasında en fazla uygulama derslerinin işlenememesi, fırsatlar temasında, yenilikçi teknolojilerin kullanımı ve öğretim üyesinin kendini geliştirmek zorunda kalması, tehditler temasında, ölçme değerlendirmenin (sınavlar) sağlıklı yapılamaması sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca araştırmanın sonuçlarında, güçlü yönlerde, farklı yerlerden eğitim olanaklarından faydalanması; zayıf yönlerde, derse katılımın yeterli olamaması, fiziksel desteğin olmaması; fırsatlarda, öğretim üyelerinin yeni yöntem ve materyal geliştirme fırsatı; tehditlerde ise eğitim kalitesi düşüklüğü önemli olduğu görülmüştür.
