Abstract

As with the COVID-19 pandemic all over the world, universities in Turkey also started the pandemic period education, and courses started to be taught through distance education. Distance education was given through different methods in a synchronous/asynchronous manner, and the practice lessons and exams were completed by assigning homework to the students. The aim of this study is to examine the education of interior architecture departments, which are one of the departments that provide applied trainings, and to evaluate students' ideas on this subject. In this context, a survey was conducted with 521 students from 22 universities in total with random sampling method. As a result of the study, the opinions of the students about the theoretical and applied courses related to the education systems during the pandemic were taken, and it was revealed that the applied courses were not suitable for the distance education system, but their success level in theoretical courses increased.
