Students faced many difficulties during distance learning and worried for achieving learning outcomes. In conclusion, distance learning is a good alternative when classroom learning is suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Turkish Teachers' Attitudes Towards Distance Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Turkish Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Distance Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic, 2021
All schools in Turkey have switched to distance learning since the onset of the pandemic. This paper investigated Turkish teachers' attitudes towards distance learning based on different variables. This study adopted a mixed research design employing both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The sample consisted of 292 Turkish teachers. The qualitative stage involved 292 Turkish teachers, while the qualitative stage involved ten Turkish teachers. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Distance Learning Attitude Scale (DLAS) developed by Ağır (2007). Frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation were used for analysis. A t-test was used to determine whether participants' attitudes towards distance learning differed by "gender" and "degree." An ANOVA was used to determine whether participants' attitudes towards distance learning differed by "work experience" and "knowledge and experience in distance learning." The Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine whether participants' attitudes towards distance learning differed by "school type." A Scheffe's Test was used to make posthoc comparisons to determine the source of significant differences. Qualitative data were collected through focus group interviews using a semi-structured interview form (n=10). The qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The results showed that participants had positive attitudes towards some aspects of distance learning, whereas they had negative attitudes towards others. Their DLAS scores significantly differed by "school type," "work experience," and "knowledge and experience in distance learning" but not by "gender" and "degree."

The goal of this research is to reveal the problems faced in distance education activities during the pandemic period from the point of view of primary school teachers. A total of 329 primary school teachers from 29 provinces of Turkey participated in this study, which was conducted according to the survey model. In the study, where the data was collected by an online survey, the analyses were done using frequency and percentages. When the answers were analyzed, it has been determined that most of them found EBA contents, EBA TV broadcast, and its duration partially useful and sufficient. Also, it was determined that teachers received support mostly from educational sites in this process, and most of them thought it was right to apply live lessons at all grade levels, directing their students to read the books and do assignments from them. It has also been found that most believe that distance learning would not harm the process of face-to-face education, although most attempt to motivate their students by sending messages in the process. Regarding their students; most of the teachers thought that they used EBA content partially efficiently. In this process, it was stated that teachers thought parents were the most efficient. It has been determined that students who do not have internet, computers, tablets, and smartphones at home, and foreign and special education students are the ones negatively affected to a large extent. At the end of the study and recommendations for improving the identified issues were given.
