Paragraph 2: One of the critical indicators of distance leaming environments where effective leaming processes take place is student satisfaction [Moore, 2005]. It has been determined that student satisfaction in distance education is highly associated with students' dropout rates,motivation, determination to complete an online course and success rates [Ali & Ahmad, 2011; Lo,2010; Parlak, 2004; Yükseltürk & Yıldınm, 2008]. In the literature, various research results show that distance education, when well designed, can provide as much or a higher level of student satisfaction as face-to-face education. In this context, in the meta-analysis study conducted by He et. al. [2021], studies comparing distance education and face-to-face education in the field of health sciences were examined. As a result of the study, it has been found that the students'satisfaction studying in the distance education environments is higher than the students studying in
face-to-face classroom environments. Also, according to Yen et. al. [2018], in their study comparing
face-to-face, online and blended leaming environments, students had equal satisfaction in all
three
leaming environments
