“…This research identified that teachers encountered various instructional environment-related challenges during the emergency distance education process, primarily including low motivation among students, their lack of attendance and preparedness for classes, difficulties in using online systems, experiencing anxiety and stress related to the process, inadequacies in online assessment and evaluation processes, and weak communication. Indeed, the literature (Aktan-Acar et al, 2021;Altıntaş-Yüksel, 2021;Anderson, 2020;Avcı & Akdeniz, 2021;Balaman & Hanbay-Tiryaki, 2021;Başaran et al, 2020;Can & Nikolayidis, 2022;Can & Ozan, 2021;Çakın & Külekçi-Ayvaz, 2020;Fidalgo et al, 2020;Giannini & Lewis, 2020;Han et al, 2021;Kazak & Karamehmetoğlu, 2023;Koşar & Bakır, 2022;Özdoğan & Berkant, 2020;Shim & Lee, 2020;Taş, 2021) The literature has also occasionally highlighted the absence of suitable environments for attending classes (Bakırcı et al, 2021) and parents displaying reluctance during the distance education process (Aktan-Acar et al, 2021;Aral & Kadan, 2021;Bakırcı et al, 2021). The teachers in this study made recommendations regarding the problems they encountered during the emergency distance education process such as enhancing interaction through sub-channels during online sessions, planning lessons with a greater focus on interaction, utilizing various teaching methods and techniques, addressing students' learning gaps through face-to-face education, and seeking support from mentor teachers.…”
