Abstract
The aim of this research is to evaluate the motivation of secondary school students in distance education as a result of the change of course curricula and the change of teaching methods. Qualitative research methods were used in this study. The study group of the research was formed with a total of 80 participants, including secondary education teachers in Northern Cyprus. While forming the study group, snowball sampling method was chosen from purposive sampling methods. As a data collection tool in the study, semi-structured interview form and semi-structured interview questions were prepared and research questions were asked. The first dimension of the research was created within the scope of revealing the views on the state of perceptions and thoughts about the effect of the change of course curricula in distance education on student motivation. The second dimension of the study was created within the scope of revealing the opinions of teachers about the state of perceptions and thoughts about the methods of creating student motivation in distance education. Within the scope of these findings, it was concluded that according to the opinions of the teachers, any change in the curriculum subjects was not at the desired level, and although the teaching time of 40 minutes in classical education was reduced to 30 minutes in distance education, there was no problem in educating the curriculum. In addition to these, it is seen that teachers engage students in distance education, and in the methods they apply to increase their motivation, teachers chat with students at the beginning of the lesson, give morale speech, use visual materials and talk about everyday issues.
