Araştırmanın yöntemi; karma yöntemdir. Araştırmanın evrenini 152 lisans öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın veri toplama araçları; İlk araç; Araştırmada "Pandemi sürecinde uzaktan eğitim ortamlarının kullanımına ilişkin tutum ölçeği" ikinci araç; araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundan oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizi; veriler iki şekilde analiz edilmiştir. İlk olarak hiyerarşik kümeleme analiz yöntemlerinden ward tekniği kullanılmış ve uzaklık ölçüsü olarak kare öklid uzaklığı seçilmiştir. ward'ın kümeleme analizi tekniğine göre uzaktan eğitim ortamlarının kullanımına yönelik tutum farklılıkları; Üç kümede sınıflandırılmıştır: Etkililik ve Memnuniyet, Motivasyon ve Memnuniyetsizliktir. Sınıflandırmadan sonra oluşturulan her kümede ikişer öğrenciye rastgele yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak; öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitim etkinlikleri hakkında olumlu ve olumsuz görüşlere sahip oldukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
