In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the online education provided to students during the COVID-19 pandemic.The research was carried out with 841 students studying for undergraduate and associate degrees in a health sciences university. The research was designed with qualitative and quantitative features using a mixed method. In the quantitative phase, an online questionnaire consisting of eight questions covering socio-demographic data and experiences in the COVID-19 process was used. In the qualitative phase, in-depth interviews were conducted online using a semi-structured interview form. The qualitative design was carried out and reported in accordance with the criteria of "COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research (COREQ)."Of the students who responded, 75.5% (n = 635) stated that they attended 76-100% of the total number of courses, and 56.1% of them stated that the efficiency of their lessons was over 50%. The analysis of the data was done manually according to Heidegger philosophy, in accordance with the steps of the data analysis method of Colaizzi (1978). As a result of the content analysis, three main themes and 21 categories were determined. The following themes were achieved: "Better than nothing!" for positive aspects of students' experiences, "Face-to-face education is better!" for negative aspects, and "It could have been better!" for their suggestions.It has been determined that the contents of distance education in health sciences for theoretical and applied courses should be further developed with a technological approach. |
