ABSTRACT
Covid-19 pandemic has resulted nearly 24 million cases and 800.000 deaths in the world (28.09.2020). It is seen that the pandemic affected many fields of life negatively including the field of education profoundly. It is observed that the closure of schools due to the pandemic influenced the education system dramatically and its main components, mainly students and teachers. Based on all these, the aim of this study is to conduct a literature review investigating the effect of the pandemic on students, teachers, and their perspective of distance and/or online education. In this study, a comparison of the data in the studies was made using the narrative analysis method. When the pandemic related literature was reviewed, it was seen that most of the studies generally focused on the students’ views about distance and/or online education (n = 6, 37.5%) and the students’ psychologically getting affected by the pandemic (n = 6, 37.5%). The pandemic related results show that the students have some negative feelings, high levels of aggressivity, and change in exhibiting their social living rituals. The students also experienced some mental health issues including insomnia, depression, and loss of appetite, extreme stress, fear, anxiety, and nervousness. Based on the literature, the students had both positive and negative thoughts about distance and online education, and the young and single teachers and female teachers have high levels of depression, anxiety, and psychological inflexibility. The review also indicated that the teachers spent more time on social media and the internet compared to pre-pandemic and approached distance and/or online education positively. There is a need to conduct a series of studies to understand how the pandemic affects students from a more contextual and comprehensive perspective. © 2020. All Rights Reserved.
