Abstract :This research was conducted to examine the e-learning readiness levels of university students who were subjected to distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic process regarding the theoretical and applied courses. The sample of the study consisted of 65 sports sciences faculty students studying in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. In the experimental study, students who took applied “athletics” and theoretical “sports sociology” courses formed the experimental group. The “Readiness for E-learning self-assessment scale” was used as data collection tool. Frequency, t tests, and Kruskal Wallis tests were used to analyze the data. According to the research findings, a positive increase was seen in the attitudes of university students with technology access, online relationships, online skills, technical skills, motivation, and the importance of success. The attitudes of the students who studied the theoretical “sociology of sports” course were high compared to those who took a meaningfully practical “athletics” course. As a result of the research; it was understood that attitudes towards distance education increased, there was no difference according to gender and it was more effective in theoretical course contents. In line with these results, it can be suggested that theoretical courses can be taught via distance education.
