- Abstract
Technological developments have closed up the distances so far. Compared to 50 years ago, people can reach anything from all over the world thanks to internet. Not only products, but also any service can be provided online such as purchasing, accommodation, health services, catering and so on. One of these services is education. Especially in state of emergency such as natural disaster, war or in today’s case, pandemic when social distance is necessary, internet based distance learning becomes a necessity more than an option. This study examines the weights of factors affecting the motivation of both faculty members and doctoral students, who are two important parties of education, for distance learning. For this purpose two models are formed for parties. In the first model developed for students, there are three main criteria and 12 sub-criteria; while in the second model developed for faculty members, there are three main criteria and 14 sub-criteria in total. Criteria for both models were decided either by literature review, authors’ observations and interviews with participants. Analytic Hierarchy Process was used in analysis. Results of this case study showed that for both parties, formal education type is the most preferred one. While expression difficulty in quantitative courses is the most determined one of the motivation for academicians, accessing problems of exams and courses is for doctoral students. In discussion part results of both faculty members and students are compared considering both theoretically such as motivational theories and empirically such as the education system of both Turkey and the developed countries.
