Abstract:

The aim of this research is to evaluate distance education process in terms of diverse variables according to the secondary education teachers’ views during the Pandemic period. 463 volunteer teachers working in Istanbul participated in the research. In the research, in order to get the opinions of teachers about distance education, the quantitative method was used. In the research, a questionnaire was used to get the opinions of the teachers. As a result of the research, it was determined that the courses the teachers carried out through distance education were unqualified, that the courses should be made face-to-face, and that the courses they gave were not suitable for distance education. It was clarified that the vocational courses teachers in vocational and technical high schools consider more that face-to-face compensation should be carried out for the distance education courses compared to the science courses , social sciences courses and applied courses (painting, music and physical education) teachers. It was also determined that the teachers thought that it was not appropriate to conduct the exams remotely in the distance education process, that the students could not reach the objectives in the curriculum during the distance education process, and that they thought that reajdustements should be made in the curriculum due to distance education. Although there was a significant difference by gender regarding the teachers' ability to reach the objectives in the curriculum in the distance education process, no significant difference was detected in other sub-problems. Moreover, while it was clarified that the teachers thought that distance education would be an indispensible part of the education system in the future, they thought that distance education applications should not continue after the Pandemic. Taking into consideration the studies done in the literature, since it has been determined that the studies on the views of secondary school teachers about distance education are insufficient, this study is viewed to be important.
