some variables. The population of the study consisted of Sports s ciences f aculty 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 Demo graphic

Education Scale developed by Y ı ld ı r ı m et al. (2016). The obtained data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS

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).
