Opinions of High School Students About Distance Education in Pandemic Process

Abstract

During the pandemic process, education and training have continued with distance education in public and private schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education since 13 March 2020. The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge and opinion of students about distance education in high school during the pandemic process. A total of 251 students, 70 of whom were male and 181 were female, answered the questionnaire from high school in the fall term of 2020-2021. The high school was chosen due to the fact that it is a project and a boarding school and there are students from different settlements. Volunteering was taken as a basis in determining the participants. According to the research results, it was revealed that slightly more than half of the participants had a computer and non-telephone internet connection at home. Also, it has been determined that the participants' computer and internet facilities affect their views on distance education. When the participants compared formal education with distance education, it was determined that they think formal education is more efficient.
