Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed to determine the views of academicians who teach accounting courses with distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic period, their views on distance education system, their self-efficacy about distance education system and their views on distance education courses. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to academicians teaching in the field of accounting in Turkey both state and private Universities. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed with descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage with the help of SPSS 20 program. As a result of the research, it was observed that academics did not adopt the distance education system too much and did not experience any problems in terms of their self-efficacy regarding the use of the system. The lack of mutual interaction between the student trainer, the inability to present theory and practice together, were identified as negative factors about distance education in accounting courses. It is also stated that after the Covid-19 pandemic period is over, compensation programs should be made for accounting courses. As a result, it is suggested that blended education methods, which adopt both traditional methods and distance education methods together, would be more effective in accounting education.
