In this research, the views of Turkish lesson teachers and secondary school students, regarding Turkish lessons taught through distance education during the Covid-19 epidemic, have been examined. Cross-sectional scanning design, one of the quantitative research methods, has been used in the research. Questionnaire method has been applied to collect research data. Demographic questions, "Middle School Students' Perceptions of Distance Education Scale" and "Scale for Determining Teachers' Views on Distance Education" take place in the questionnaire form. The population and sample of the study consist of 206 Turkish teachers working in secondary schools in the city center of Batman, and 400 secondary school students studying in these schools. According to the findings obtained in the research, specific to teachers' opinions on distance education according to gender variable, it has been found that there has been a significant difference in favor of female teachers, that teachers' opinions on distance education, according to their marital status, have been in favor of single teachers, that teachers' opinions on distance education as to their level of education have been in favor of teachers with bachelor's degree, and that teachers' opinions on distance education did not differ according to professional seniority variable. Whether the students' perceptions of distance education differed according to the educational status of their parents has been tested. According to the results of the research, it has been found out that the perceptions of distance education have been in favor of the students who have primary school graduate mothers. In addition, it was concluded that students' perceptions of distance education did not differ according to their fathers' educational status. Once again, as another result of the research, it has been found out that the distance education perceptions of the students did not differ according to whether they have a study room or not. It has been concluded that students prefer face-to-face education instead of distance education, that face-to-face education is more useful than distance education, that the courses given are appropriate for the students' levels, that the EBA / TV application alone is not enough, and that students want their own course teachers in EBA / TV courses.
