Abstract :This study, designed with a convergent parallel mixed method, was conducted to assess the views of health sciences faculty\' students on distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantitative data were applied in a web-based form with the socio-demographic form and the Views on Distance Education Scale. Qualitative data were collected by computer interviews using a video conference tool. Analyses were conducted using nonparametric test methods. For comparisons involving more than two groups, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was applied, and the Mann-Whitney U test was applied for comparisons involving two groups. The Spearman Correlation test was used to examine how the dimensions related. In the qualitative section, the content analysis method was preferred. Comparative analyses of the total scale dimension, sub-dimensions, and socio-demographic characteristics revealed significant differences (p<0.05). In the qualitative part of the study, six themes emerged in analyzing students\' views on distance education. It was seen that the results of predisposition and eligibility for distance education determined in the quantitative part were parallel to the results of qualitative data.Keywords : Covid-19, Pandemi, Yükseköğretim, Uzaktan eğitim, Karma yöntem.
