Resumen
This article presents a study conducted with the purpose of identifying the views of university
students regarding the concept of digital education and the changing perception of education during
the COVID-19 pandemic period, as well as the positive and negative aspects of this new
understanding of education. Discovering the positive and negative impacts of the new learning
perception caused by the digital education process on the students, and contributing to the future
process in the context of the results constitute the primary purpose of this student-focused study. The
case study method, which is one of the qualitative research techniques, has been adopted while
conducting this study. Data have been collected digitally through a structured interview form
prepared by the researchers, and the purposeful sampling technique was used to choose the
participant students In the light of the data collected, it has been concluded that the participants have
been negatively affected by the digital education processes in general; and when comparing digital
education to face-to-face education, it has been determined that the majority of them preferred faceto-
face education to distance education in terms of different educational outcomes. With regard to
students' negative views on digital education, the reasons such as not being in the university
environment physically, not being able to access the university's digital education resources due to
physical and/or economic factors, psychological (feeling of inadequacy) and demographic factors
come to the fore.
