Design/Methodology/Approach: In this context, the study was carried out with the phenomenographic research method. The study group of the research consists of 568 administrators and teachers in Trabzon in the 2020-2021 academic year. The data for the SWOT analysis were obtained by applying the structured forms prepared by the researchers to the participants.
Findings: The obtained data were analyzed by content analysis. In strengths; It has been determined that out-of-school learning opportunities have increased and students' technology use competencies have improved. On weak points; it has been revealed that it is inadequate in the lessons that require practice and there is a face-to-face communication problem. In opportunities; increasing the time spent with the family and providing fast and easy access to information came to the fore. In threats; infrastructure problems were the identified themes.
Highlights: It has been concluded that teachers should receive in-service training on methods and techniques that they can use in distance education. During the pandemic process, students were encouraged to take more responsibility for learning, and equal opportunities were provided for introverted students. The need for more objective approaches in measurement and evaluation has come to the fore. It is recommended to support applied courses with appropriate content so that they can be adapted to the distance education process.
