As our country was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which affects many countries around the world, face-to-face education was interrupted a while ago and distant education system was introduced. In this context, distance education, which is applied at different levels, has suddenly entered our lives while being foreign to most education stakeholders. During the social isolation period that came with the pandemic, the demand of learners for distance education increased. In this study, learners' Attitudes towards the Use of Distance Education Environments in the Pandemic Process were emphasized and in this context, it was aimed to present a valid and reliable scale. In the light of all these, it is predicted that the relevant scale, whose validity and reliability has been proven, will be used effectively on study groups of students at different levels. Validity and reliability studies of the scale were carried out with a total of 321 students studying at various faculties of Sakarya University and different departments of Sakarya University of Applied Sciences Hendek Vocational School. For the content and appearance validity of the scale, 1 linguist, 3 field experts, 1 psychological counselor and 1 assessment and evaluation specialist were consulted. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to serve the construct validity. At the end of the study, a 4-dimensional scale consisting of 24 items that explains 73.42% of the total variance was obtained. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale calculated with Cronbach Alpha is .93. It was determined that the CFA fit indices in the context of 4 dimensions regarding the confirmatory factor analysis were within the desired limits.
