There are problems that need to be solved in distance education
Making a joint statement on the study, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yeniasır, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burak Gökbulut, Assist. Prof. Dr. Selma Korkmaz and Ayşenur Özbent said that although it has a long history in the world, it is mostly used as a supportive education model, while the whole system’s return to distance education during the pandemic process caused adaptation difficulties for students and teachers. In the study, “Although faculty members and students stated deficiencies in distance education, it was seen that they did not completely reject this change and they welcomed this change except for some points (for example, measurement and evaluation). From this point of view, it is necessary to focus on measurement and evaluation in the changing education system and to produce solutions at this point. Informing students about the evaluation criteria in distance education will help to eliminate the concerns mentioned in this regard. In addition, the faculty members enriching the lessons with visuals and requiring participation will contribute to a more efficient process.
