Abstract:

This study aims to examine the views of secondary school administrators and teachers on distance education. The study was conducted with the phenomenology pattern, one of the qualitative research methods. Ten administrators and 15 teachers working in 10 different public schools in Istanbul province Bağcılar district participated in the study. Interviews were conducted with a semi-structured interview form consisting of 13 questions prepared by taking the opinions of field experts. Due to the distance education conditions, the interviews were made face to face with the administrators, face-to-face with the teachers, and over the phone. According to the results obtained, In the readiness stage, the levels of administrators and teachers were found to be low, and it was seen that teachers tended to need assessment studies. Still, administrators did not have such an orientation. In the assimilation stage, it was concluded that the previous TV broadcasts did not have a facilitating effect on the transition to distance education. Still, the teachers' experience of teaching on the smart board accelerated the internalization of distance education. During the implementation phase, the most encountered problems were determined; It has been determined that the most effective application in terms of the effectiveness of Live Lesson Applications, EBA Platform, and EBA TV is a live lesson.
