“…The current research findings have illustrated that there are also many practical problems arising from the use of tablet computers in education such as: feeling anxiety about the breakdown of tablets, battery and charging problems, slow Internet connectivity, unable to connect to the Internet and touch screen and typing problems. Many researchers have noted similar problems (Cetinkaya & Keser, 2012;Elyazgi, Mahrin, Rahim & Imtiaz, 2014;Pamuk et al, 2013;Tufekci & Akdeniz, 2016). In some research studies, the use of tablet computers and interactive boards has been associated with eyesight problems caused by radiation (Cetinkaya & Keser, 2014;Ozdamli & Tavukcu, 2016;Yazar, 2015).…”

“…Öğretmenin tek öğretim aracı olarak kabul edildiği öğretmen merkezli anlayıştan akıllı tahta ve internet kullanılarak zengin öğretim ortamlarının sunulduğu ve öğrencinin sürece aktif katılımını öngören öğrenci merkezli anlayışa geçiş olmuştur. Bu anlayış içinde geleneksel sınıflar yerine, yer ve zamandan bağımsız, öğrenicilerin kendi hızlarına göre düzenleyebildikleri ve teknoloji ile donatılmış ortamlara geçilmesi kabul görmektedir (Elyazgi, Mahrin, Rahim ve İmtiaz, 2014).…”

“…Since 1980, the education system has been affected by information and communication technologies (ICT) (Cuban, 1994;Ibicioglu & Antalyali, 2005;Roblyer & Doering, 2014). Today, ICT can offer a wide range of instructional alternatives, ranging from supporting traditional teacher-centred classroom teaching activities to applications that can be customized according to each student's own learning pace and preferences, independent of time and place (Becker, 2000;Boucher, 1998;Elyazgi et al, 2014;Isisag, 2012;Maryam et al, 2013;Pinar & Akgül, 2020;Postholm, 2007;Selwyn, 2007;Wenglinsky, 2005). The information age, which rises in parallel with technological developments and affects the world (Papadakis, 2021), has also significantly affected life skills, and this situation has placed a wide range of competencies that are based on ICT-supported decision and solution processes, which we call 21st-century skills (Bardakci & Keser, 2017;Cuban, 2006).…”

In the study, a semi-structured questionnaire was created as a data collection tool and applied to sixty-six teachers with snowball sampling. Teachers participating in the study generally work at primary, secondary and high schools. At the end of the study, it was revealed that the interaction between students, student-teacher, and teacher-parent in urgent distance education processes was generally insufficient; there was no socialization. In addition, it was revealed that both teachers and students experienced various positive and negative emotions, the teaching content was insufficient, and there was a lack of technological equipment and knowledge. However, as an alternative, urgent education activities had some positive aspects for the teachers. As a result of the study, it is recommended to design distance education better, provide a better communication channel between teacher-student-parent, eliminate technological infrastructure problems, and provide technical and psychological support to teachers during urgent distance education practices.
