Abstract :Due to Covid-19 pandemic, one of the biggest crises occurred in the field of education. The number of students whose educational activities were interrupted because of the pandemic is an indicator of the effects of the pandemic on education. However, when the studies in the literature are examined, they mostly focus on the field of health. Studies in the field of education are relatively limited and the studies or data are unstructured. As a matter of fact, it is important to structure the data in the world created by data; to understand how the process works, to discover opportunities and the patterns that make up the world, to predict what will happen in new situations. In this context, the purpose of this study is to determine which issues are examined in the field of education in Turkey and around the world in the Covid-19 pandemic. In accordance with this purpose, analyzes were made using text mining techniques on text-based data. As a result of the research, in the international literature, more in-depth and theoretical research is included in the context of education, while in the national literature, situation determination and superficial distance education studies have been carried out.
