Abstract
This research focuses on examining the effects of university field courses on distance education and the integration of distance education into courses. A group of 357 university students studying biomedical engineering at universities in the Kosovo region and the Russian Federation volunteered to participate in the research. A quantitative research method was used in the study. In the research, the "Distance Education" measurement tool developed by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. The questionnaire was developed and edited by experts in the field. Data were collected using an online survey. The collected data were ana-lysed using the SPSS program. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, one-way ANOVA and T-test were applied to analyse the data obtained from the Distance Education measurement tool. This re-search concluded that the majority of university students consider them-selves competent enough to use distance education technologies in the learning environment in the field courses, and they do not have difficulty using the systems in the field courses and their universities do not have sufficient equipment for the use of distance education technologies.
Highlights
In ancient times, when information tools were not discovered in education, while the spread of knowledge took a long time, it is seen that the information we receive today turns into old knowledge in a very short time [2]
It is seen that the number of study group participants is primary, and it was concluded that 357 university students volunteered to participate in this research
It is important for them to use the internet. If we consider another result of the research, the daily technology usage times of university students were investigated and as a result, it was concluded that they used the internet for 8 hours or more
Summary
In ancient times, when information tools were not discovered in education, while the spread of knowledge took a long time, it is seen that the information we receive today turns into old knowledge in a very short time [2]. It is known that the continuity of learning gains more importance as well as the effectiveness of the auditory, visual or applied learning process [25] [13]. While teaching activities are given formally in educational institutions, it is known that the teaching function can be performed with different teaching methods with the developing technology [4] [29]. Thanks to the development of technology, people who cannot find formal (face-to-face) education opportunities thanks to the internet, which is used as an educational tool, can receive education with the distance education method, and it is known that they do not fall behind in their lives, which makes distance education advantageous [28] [20]. If the developing distance education method can be applied effectively, it can be widely used in universities, state institutions and private companies, in-service trainings and certificate program trainings [30]. The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of formal education and distance education on student success and to compare these two education methods
