geography departments that practice face-to-face education in universities have had to switch to online education in line with the technological infrastructure of universities. The online learning practices of geography science, which examine human and physical elements with both theoretical and applied studies, also have to differ. In this study, the attitudes of geography students who were forced to receive online education instead of studying face-to-face due to the mandatory conditions imposed by Covid-19 were investigated. The research was conducted with students studying in the geography department at a State University in Central Anatolia Region. The "Online Learning Attitude Scale" was used as the data collection tool in the study and the data obtained in the study was analyzed in the SPSS 25.0 package program. In the study, the general average score for attitudes towards online learning was 56, and it was found that geography students had a low attitude towards online learning. On the online learning attitude scale, "Most students prefer online learning to face-to-face" was the phrase that the least geography students participated in and it turned out that students do not prefer online learning by comparision with face-to-face training. Male students have a more positive attitude towards online learning than female students. Students who have own study room at home have a more positive attitude towards online learning than the students who don't.
