Öz

In this study, only the opinions of senior students of the department of guidance and counseling were included in a narrower framework. According to the graduate students of the department of guidance and counseling, it is aimed to examine the positive and negative aspects of distance education from the perspective of psychological counselors and to contribute to the field of distance education suggestions . A qualitative research design was preferred in this study, in which the thoughts and perspectives on distance education were examined. The prediction that it is more possible to examine the participants' perspective and thinking styles towards distance education with a qualitative approach was effective in choosing a qualitative approach. The given data is limited by the views of 47 students. The determined main codes have shown similarities with other studies on distance education. While providing the continuity of the lessons by providing the opportunity to watch again, being an economical practice, allowing effective and efficient use of time, and providing individuals with the opportunity to learn at their own pace, some of the disadvantages are the inexperience of the lecturers.
