To compare the scores obtained from the scales, independent t-test statistics were used according to gender, internet access status, computer status, taking information technology courses, and having experienced distance education before; One-way analysis of variance (Lsd) test statistics were used in comparisons of class, general weighted grade point average, place of residence, and how do you find distance education opportunities at your university. In conclusion; While no statistically significant difference could be determined according to the gender variable of the students of the Faculty of Sport Sciences; class, grade point average, place of residence, internet access status, computer status, taking information technology courses, previous experience in distance education, how do you find the distance education opportunities of your university?
