Evaluation of Higher Education Students' Distance Education Experiences during and After the Pandemic Period
Öz
In the study, it was aimed to evaluate the distance education activities of university students during and after the pandemic period. For this purpose, a survey model, a quantitative research method, was used. To evaluate the distance education attitudes of the students, the 15-item "Distance Education Evaluation Scale" was applied to 524 students during the pandemic period and 1095 students after the pandemic. The data obtained were analyzed using both descriptive and predictive methods. As a result the analysis observed a significant difference between the groups in terms of variables such as the units where the students studied, their educuation levels, class levels, gender, and age groups. However, when the scores of the students with distance education experience and the students without experience were compared, no statistically significant difference was found between the groups. As a result, it is suggested that new studies should be carried out to develop innovative methods in order to improve distance education evaluation scores of students and to make more effective and interesting distance education activities. In addition, it is recommended to carry out new studies, including different provinces with the transition of educational activities after the natural disasters such as earthquakes to emergency distance education.
