This study aims to make a descriptive analysis of the studies in the field of educational technologies discipline related to the Covid-19 disease during the pandemic period. The study was conducted with document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. The articles examined in the study were obtained by scanning the databases of ULAKBİM, Google Scholar, Ebscohost Turkish Education Index, ASOS Index and Sobiad Index using the keywords Educational technologies and Covid-19. In this context, 82 articles made in the field of educational technologies related to Covid-19, which were determined by the purposeful sampling method, were identified and examined. These articles were published in the journal in which the studies were published using descriptive analysis, the number of authors, research method, and the data collection tools used in the research were examined under the titles such as the sample of the research, the method of determining the samples in the research, and the techniques used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the study, it was stated that it would be appropriate to conduct different studies with different stakeholders in the field of educational technologies regarding the Covid-19 pandemic process.

This virus has spread to many countries around the world in a short period of time. Due to its rapid and alarming spread, this situation has been declared a pandemic as of 11 March 2020 and warnings have been issued to governments to maximize their precautions by limiting interpersonal interaction (World Health Organization[WHO], 2020) .

The use of distance education practices in almost every level of education in Turkey has brought along
