Özet:

 

The aim of this research is to find out about the current situation of the online/distanced learning, provided during the Covid-19 pandemic, in public and private primary schools, secondary schools, high schools and vocational high schools existing in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the training needs of the school managers who work in these schools. The research has been carried out with a descriptive survey model and the survey is used as a tool of collecting data. The survey is developed with the advice of experts as well as by means of literature review and it includes 31 points, of which 15 are close-ended and 16 are open-ended questions. The working group of the research includes 42 school managers. Descriptive survey analysis is carried out for the close-ended questions whereas content analysis is carried out for the open-ended questions. The findings of the research are as such: the school managers are in need of training with regards to the online/distanced learning in the areas of scaling and evaluation, online teaching principles and methods, technologic knowledge and competencies, class management and communication where it is a problematic situation to have the families participate and to motivate the students in the online process. Additionally, the technological infrasturucture is insufficient and the majority of the teachers have not taken any training about distance learning. Although the Covid-19 pandemic period led to problems in the teaching platform, these also led to new opportunities to arise. In addition, being aware of the problems led to opportunities to find solutions. The research revealed the fact that the working group are in need of training for measurement and evaluation and for increasing the motivation of the students. The pandemic period led to problems in the teaching platform, but the online - distanced learning process can be developed by re-evaluating the current systems, by updating the methods that might be no longer in use and by solutions to problems being encountered.
