TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS AND TEACHING EXPERIENCES ON DISTANCE EDUCATION THROUGH SYNCHRONOUS VIDEO CONFERENCING DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

This study aims to investigate perceptions and teaching experiences of the teachers on the distance education during the Covid- 19 pandemic. The case study design was applied in this study. This study was carried out with 15 teachers. The data was obtained through a semi-structured interview form. For analysis, the content analysis was conducted. According to the results, most of the teachers perceived distance education as a technology-oriented process rather than a new teaching model. Engagement of students had a key role in teachers’ satisfaction. The teachers kept traditional teaching techniques during distance courses. For the teachers distance education was less successful than formal education because of lack of communication and interaction quality. Perceptions affect behavior and the quality of distance education applications affects the perceptions so, determining the perceptions of the teachers and taking the necessary measures in this direction is crucial to enhance quality of the system.
