Abstract

The aim of this study is to reveal the problems faced by teachers, technological competencies, technology use skills, and readiness as the use of technology in education, which has not become a necessity until today, has become a necessity after the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was carried out with 20 teachers from different primary, secondary and high schools in the 2020-2021 academic year. The study was conducted as qualitative research, and data were collected with a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. Teachers stated that they had difficulties using distance education tools such as Zoom at the beginning of the distance education process. Teachers stated that they prepared simple level presentations and visual materials, used prepared presentations in their lessons when necessary, and did not use Web 2.0 tools. Teachers stated that the lessons taught in distance education are taught understandably and efficiently. It was observed that the teachers’ technological competencies were lacking, and they did not receive in-service training on technology use. It may be beneficial for teachers to receive in-service training on using technology and using distance education tools.
