An Investigation of Problems Experienced Through Online Education and Measuring Digital Literacy: An Exploratory Study of Turkish Masters’ Degree and PHD Students

Abstract

Coronavirus has changed the habits of all over the world deeply. This transformation has profoundly affected the way of the education system. Closing schools and universities carried education to online platforms. My university has also been using a new online education platform. Naturally, my students have been facing some problems during my lessons. I targeted to explore what kinds of problems have been experienced. My second aim of this exploratory research is to measure my students’ digital literacy levels. The findings of my research showed that the learners were mostly facing problems such as internet connection, losing concentration, and social interaction. Furthermore, their digital literacy sub-scales were found as very good and good, but they have a problem with one side of digital literacy.
