Abstract:

With the COVID-19 epidemic, it is seen that the face-to-face education system has been replaced by the distance education system worldwide. This process has made the efficiency of the physical education and sports course carried out with distance education questionable. In this respect, it was aimed to examine the efficiency of the lessons taught by physical education and sports teachers in the distance education process. The maximum criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used in the research carried out using the phenomenology design within the scope of qualitative research. 14 physical education and sports teachers participated in the research. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the data obtained by the semi-structured interview technique. In the research, the findings related to the efficiency of the distance education process of the course, the applications to increase the efficiency of the course, the preference of distance education, and finally the demands and suggestions for distance education were obtained. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that physical education and sports lessons conducted with distance education are inefficient due to reasons such as lack of interaction, student absenteeism, inconvenience to the teaching of applied subjects, students' differences in terms of computer and internet access, teachers' unpreparedness for distance education and technopedagogical education inadequacies.
