Abstract: Online education, which was suddenly passed during the Covid-19 period, has brought along a number of problems. Especially since some of the teachers were children of the pre-millennium and post-millennium era, when the problem of computer literacy was on the agenda, it brought the problem to a different dimension for the generations in which these teachers grew up. In this study, a sample was taken from these teachers and a Likert scale questionnaire was applied to them. In this survey, questions were asked starting from how the computer literacy problem was reflected on them. The problems they experience in online education and how ready the education system is for online education were evaluated through the opinions of teachers.
Keywords: Covid-19, computer literacy Online Education, Technological Problems.
