In this study, the emotional states of the instructors who teach by distance education and the effect of the environment in which they give the lesson on their emotions were examined. Computer-aided "Facial Action Coding System" method was used to measure emotion values from facial images. Through the software developed by the researchers using the Microsoft Face Recognition API, 43292 facial images taken from five trainers during their training were analysed and seven basic emotions representing facial expressions were obtained numerically. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the emotions of the instructors that can be described as negative in the lessons held in the e-studio environment generally increased at the beginning of the lesson, decreased in the following minutes and increased again at the end of the lesson; On the other hand, it was determined that positive emotions decreased at the beginning of the lesson and increased later. In the home environment, while the emotions that can be described as negative at the beginning decreased, positive emotions increased. A significant difference was determined between home and e-studio environment in all emotions except anger. One of the emotions with a difference in value between the two environments is happiness, and it has been determined that happiness has higher values in the home environment. It has been determined that other emotions are experienced more in the e-studio environment. It is thought that the results of the study will contribute to the mental states of the instructors who teach through distance education and to the efficiency of distance education.
