Evaluation of Distance Learning from Student Perspective in Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Coronavirus emerged in Wuhan/China turned into a pandemic in a short time by affecting the whole world. The education system at universities is quickly interrupted along with the appearance of the first case in Turkey on 10 March 2020. Then, universities have switched to distance learning with the provision of necessary infrastructure services. This study aims to evaluate the distance learning system from the perspective of students. In this context, a survey study is applied to 2371 students studying at different faculties and vocational school of higher education at a state university. It is analyzed in detail whether there is a relationship between the variables of gender, grade point averages, department and semester, and students’ satisfaction level from the distance education system. Chi-square test, t test and ANOVA test are used for the analysis of data. When the results are examined, it is seen that vocational school of higher education students find the distance education system more successful than the faculty students. However, it can be said that faculty students and students with high grade point averages follow online courses more regularly.
