Özet

This study aimed to investigate the views of students at sports sciences faculty on distance education based on some variables. The population of the study consisted of Sports sciences faculty students. The data were collected from the participants via the Google Forms platform, and participation was on a voluntary basis. The form that was used in the study to collect the data consisted of two sections. The first section included the Demographic Information Form developed by the researcher, while the second section included the Views on Distance Education Scale developed by Yildirim et al. (2016). The obtained data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 package software. As a result of the study, statistically significant differences were determined in the variables of gender, department of education, wanting the classes to continue through distance education and devices used in distance education (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the variables of age and class year (p > 0.05). Consequently, it was determined that the attitudes of the students towards distance education were generally low. Accordingly, work may be carried out towards increasing the effectiveness of departments that require applied education.
