The main objective of this research was to explore the experiences of women in academia who have children, specifically focusing on their encounters with distance learning and working from home during the pandemic. The study aimed to investigate the challenges they faced, the benefits they gained, and their perspectives on how the gender influenced their overall experiences in this context. To this end, the study adopted the qualitative research method of phenomenological design. Interviews wereconducted with 11 participants, including children working at the same university offering courses by means of distance learning during the pandemic. The data wereexamined through content analysis. The participants expressed that they encountered a variety of problems, particularly due to being women. They stated that they assumed many different roles at the same time and place and struggled to carry out the responsibilities. Almost all participants indicated a significant decline in the volume of academic studies, considering the excessive number of responsibilities assumed by women and the lack of a shared workload at home. The present study is expected to help female academics realize that these problems are not unique to them, providing them with a source of motivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
