Objective: Distance education is an education model that reduces the physical and financial limitations between students and teachers and ensures that education is delivered to every group in every situation. This study aims to compare the distance education environment and face-to-face education environments in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation training. Material and Methods: We included 272 students studying at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, taking distance education courses and volunteering to participate in the study. Data were collected on the internet. The demographic information of the participants was recorded. “The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure TR” questionnaire was used to evaluate the face-to-face and distance education environment. Face-to-face education environment and distance education environment results were compared and analyzed. Results: In all subdimensions and overall score, the perception of face-to-face education environment was found to be significantly higher than the perception of distance education environment (p<0.05). No significant difference was found between face-to-face education environment and distance education environment according to gender (p>0.05). It was concluded that 2nd graders had significantly higher than 1st graders in the perception of the face-to-face education environment (p<0.05). No significant difference was found between classes in the perception of distance education environment (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of this research, we can say that the transition to distance education without adequate training and preparations to reduce the spread of the disease with the coronavirus disease-2019 epidemic negatively affects the educational environment. To be prepared for conditions such as epidemics, natural disasters, and emergencies where distance education becomes compulsory, distance education should be redesigned as student-centered.
