Determining the Perceptions of Secondary School Students about Distance Education in the Pandemic Process through Metaphors
Öz
This study aims to determine the perceptions of secondary school students for the concept of distance education in the pandemic process through metaphors. The case study design has been applied in this qualitative study. The study group was formed by the 322 students attending five different schools’ 5th-8th graders in Hatay in the 2020-2021 academic year. The study group of the research was selected using the purposive sampling method. The data was collected using a metaphorical perception sentence prepared for the gap-filling method. Each student was asked to produce a metaphor and to complete the statement “Distance Education is like . . . because . . .” to draw an analogy. The data was analyzed using the content analysis technique. According to data analysis, it was found that 300 valid metaphors were developed. Metaphors were classified into 3 groups such as “positive”, “negative”, “neutral”. Of the students in the study, 49.00% produced negative, 44.33% positive, and 6.67% neutral metaphors. The most dominant metaphors were given respectively “Stranger” (f=14), “School” (f=13), “Best friend” (f=9), “Parents’ meeting” (f=7). According to negative metaphors, distance education is not effective and does not provide permanent learning. According to positive metaphors, distance education is a new teaching system that meets our needs using technology during the pandemic period. According to neutral metaphors, distance education is a mandatory stage of education in the pandemic process. The Ministry of National Education should invest in developing a flexible education system that supports electronic and distance learning for the future of the education system. Consequently, improvements can be made in distance education practices by considering students' perceptions. It is believed that this study will shed light on distance education studies in the future.
