Abstract: The use of rapidly developing mass media in the education process has revealed the concept of distance education, the importance and necessity of which have been re-understood throughout the world during COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to determine teacher practices in distance education and to examine teacher views on distance education during the pandemic process in European countries. Data about teaching models, platforms, web tools, special methods and techniques, materials used during this process, and teacher reviews were collected from 36 teachers working in nine different European countries through a semi-structured interview form. The findings have revealed the advantages and disadvantages of various teacher practices in distance education. In addition, it is concluded that having pre-pandemic distance education experience has been an important factor that facilitated the post-pandemic distance education process.
