The study was conducted with 76 primary school students at different grade levels, including their parents (76), in the state schools of Giresun city in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year.  \nThe study was based on the case study method, one of the qualitative research designs. An information collection form with open-ended questions was used asa data collection tool. The data obtained from the information collection form were analyzed by the content analysis method. The findings have revealed that the distance learning system has a flexible structure and is accessible from anyplace, but there are difficulties accessing the system due to connection problems.  \nThese systems facilitate the teaching process, affecting learning positively. The findings also showed that distance learning systems are not favored by students who long for friends and teachers during the learning process performed on these systems. Unlike face-to-face training, disciplinary and supervision problems in distance learning are also noteworthy. The authors finally suggest that the distance learning and management process should be performed in arestrained manner to ensure the process to be run effectively and efficiently.  \nKeywords: distance learning, COVID-19, K-12  \nIntroduction  \nCausing global disorder and chaos (Sun, Tang, & Zuo, 2020), the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected many areas such as health, tourism, economy, and education, which are directly related to human life in Turkey, as is the case for the rest of the world. Health and education are among the most affected areas during the COVID-19 pandemic (Hebebci, Bertiz, & Alan, 2020; Telli Yamamoto & Altun, 2020). Various measures were sought, and required changes were made on an unprecedented scale to minimize the COVID-19 pandemic's adverse effects on education (Gewin, 2020; Karakuş et al., 2020). The measures taken to limit the spread of the pandemic and maintain the social distance have made the education system stagnant as made so any other public systems, and educational institutions have had to suspend face-to-face education for a while (Daniel, 2020; Reimers & Schleicher, 2020). To overcome this stagnation, UNESCO has declared that governments should introduce alternative education tools and learning programs for students who cannot be present in school due to the pandemic-related emergency (Huang et al., 2020). Accordingly, educational activities have been  \n*  \nAssistant Professor, Giresun University, Turkey.  \n±Primary School Teacher, Ministry of National Education, Turkey.  \n°  \nAssociate Professor, Giresun University, Turkey.  \ndigitized on the Internet, and teachers and students have been supported by distance learning, where they can use information technologies without any time and place restriction (Sulkowski, 2020; Hodges et al., 2020; Tian et al., 2020; Sözen, 2020; Balaman & Tiryaki, 2021). Additionally, UNESCO underlined that governments should provide digital resources to students, establish radio and television channels to broadcast education, including digital resources in educators'curricula (UNESCO, 2020).  \nDistance learning is a system developed based on individuals' deprivation of sufficient opportunities, materials, and teachers to ensure their education (Newby, Stepich, Lehman, & Russell, 2006) . Such individuals desire to develop themselves culturally, academically, and professionally and have physical discomfort or disability with restricted access to education stemming from a physical distance (Sözen, 2020). Compared to face-to-face education, the distance learning process has such advantages as providing access to info","cbCaiu0Dkwg87L0L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu0Dkwg87L0L","pdf",378151,22,"English","# Introduction\n# Distance Learning at K-12 Level During the COVID-19 Pandemic","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main purpose regarding distance learning?\",\"answer\":\"To examine distance learning practices at the primary education level during the COVID-19 pandemic from students’ and parents’ perspectives.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"A case study qualitative design was used with an open-ended information collection form, and the collected data were analyzed through content analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What benefits and challenges were identified in distance learning?\",\"answer\":\"Benefits included flexibility and access to learning from any place, which positively affected teaching and learning.
