THE IMPACT OF THE DISTANCE EDUCATION ON STUDENTS DURING PANDEMIC PROCESS AND THE OPINIONS OF THE PARENTS Ülkü TUĞUTLU, Osman KAVAZ
Abstract:
In this study, the ideas of students and parents about distance education were taken. The study was conducted on 100 different students. Students and parents from different education levels (primary education, university, etc.) are included. In the study, it was asked how the students changed after the distance education process. It has been tried to find out what disadvantages and benefits it provides for students. As a result, although students have learned to use technology more beneficially, distance education has caused a serious lack of interest and concentration, especially for younger students. The lack of sufficient electronic devices or internet connection also prevented students from receiving education equally. As a result of the study, it was obvious that educators and educational institutions should organize studies and aids in order to prevent this inequality. Education life, which is the most important time in an individual's life, has been seriously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the quality of education has decreased. It has become clear with this study that more effective methods and systems should be found if this process is to be recovered and if it continues.

THE PROBLEMS OF ADAPTATION TO ONLINE EDUCATION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PROCESS; STARTING PRIMARY EDUCATION BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL Feyzan Oktay
Abstract:
Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, it has not only affected public health, but also caused significant changes in the habits of life. In addition to many economic, sociological and vital changes, education is one of the systems most affected. Although the history of distance education dates back to the past, with the Covid-19 epidemic, our society met with home education using digital tools called online or online education. While the problems of such a rapid transition were experienced at all levels of education, children who were just going to start primary school had to start school without leaving home. Due to their structured environments, schools support the emotional, spiritual, personal, social and physical development of students as well as their academic development. As the distance education process progresses, it has been revealed that although online education closes the knowledge gap of children, it is insufficient in terms of social, physical and behavioral education. In this compilation research, especially the adaptation problems experienced by students at the beginning of primary education, the positive and negative aspects of online education, and potential solution suggestions are presented by literature review.
