Abstract
The effects of the changes experienced with the Covid-19 pandemic on the education-teaching process have been the subject of many studies. It is seen that researches generally focus on distance education. On the other hand, with the decrease of the effect of the pandemic, face-to-face education started. In this process, teachers are expected to transfer their distance education experiences to face-to-face education environments. In this study, the effects of distance education on face-to-face education environment were investigated. Within the scope of the qualitative case study, the opinions of students and teachers who shared the same teaching environment during face-to-face education before distance education, face-to-face education after distance education and distance education were taken. The study group consists of twelve students who study in a high school affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Türkiye/Ordu and are selected on a voluntary basis, in accordance with the purposeful sampling qualifications, and the teachers who attend the classes of these students. From the analysis of the interview data, findings such as the opinions of students and teachers about the face-to-face education environment, in-class communication, and materials used in teaching environments were obtained. It was concluded that the content used by the teachers on the smart board became richer after the distance education. However, it was determined that the teachers did not use a new application in the process. It has been determined that some students have different expectations about education life as a result of their distance education experiences.
