Abstract

The experience of Turkey and other countries on distance learning applications are quite deep-rooted; However, distance education in the COVID-19 period has been a process in which online education has completely replaced formal education in higher education without proper preparations. This study was conducted in a state university in Anatolia -which has been relatively successful at managing distance education period. The aim of the study is to identify the socio-economic factors affecting students' experiences with their perceptions about the distance education process, the aspects they find difficult and/or positive during the distance education process that started with COVID-19 pandemic. Another outcome of the article is underlining the socio-economic and gender-based factors that generate differences in students' motivation and success in the distance education. For these purposes, a questionnaire with 484 students and 3 focus group studies were conducted, and the results were shared in the article in a descriptive manner. The results are expected to be a resource for Higher Education Institutions, who are caught unprepared for the emergency distance learning period, in terms of understanding student perception and experience. At the same time, it is aimed to identify vulnerable student groups in distance education and to reveal the socio-economic inequalities affecting students in the distance education process.

Özet

Uzaktan eğitim uygulamaları üzerine Türkiye’nin ve diğer ülkelerin deneyimi oldukça köklüdür; fakat, COVID-19 dönemindeki uzaktan eğitim, tam hazırlık yapılamadan örgün eğitimin tamamen yerini aldığı bir süreç olmuştur. Bu çalışma, Anadolu’da acil uzaktan eğitim sürecini görece başarılı yöneten bir devlet üniversitede yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 uzaktan eğitim sürecinde öğrencilerin deneyimlerini etkileyen sosyo-ekonomik faktörler ile birlikte öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitim sürecine dair algılarını, zorlandıkları ve/veya olumlu buldukları yönleri tespit etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Makalenin bir diğer önemli çıktısı da uzaktan eğitim sürecinde öğrencilerin motivasyonu ve başarısında fark yaratan sosyo-ekonomik ve toplumsal cinsiyet temelli faktörler olmuştur. Araştırmada 484 öğrenci ile anket ve 3 adet odak grup çalışması yapılmış, sonuçlar tanımlayıcı şekilde makalede paylaşılmıştır. Sonuçların, acil uzaktan öğrenme dönemine görece olarak hazırlıksız yakalanan yüksek öğrenim kurumlarına, öğrenci algısını ve deneyimini anlamaları açısından bir kaynak olması beklenmektedir. Aynı zamanda, çalışma ile uzaktan eğitimde ‘hassas /kırılgan’ öğrenci gruplarının tespitinin yapılması ve uzaktan eğitim sürecinde öğrencileri etkileyen sosyo-ekonomik eşitsizliklerin ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır
