 Bu çalışmada farklı okul kademelerinden okul yöneticilerinin Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde uygulanan uzaktan eğitime ilişkin yaşantı ve görüşleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Mersin ili Silifke ilçesinde ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise kademelerinde görev yapmakta olan 25 okul yöneticisi oluşturmaktadır.
