Abstract :

Corona changed all social relations in the world and started a new chapter of life for humanity. Extensive change provided the basis for extensive studies to understand people's experience of these changes. Education as one of the areas of social life has not been without the effects and changes of the corona epidemic. The aim of this study was to understand the experience of students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences about changes in the educational system during the corona epidemic. In this qualitative study, data were collected through interviews with 18 physical education students at the Azad University. The interviews continued until the theoretical saturation was reached. After collecting the data and converting them into textual data, the analysis process began with the content analysis method. In data analysis, first the primary codes and then the secondary codes were extracted and finally the data were summarized in three main and final themes of positive experiences, negative experiences and alternative and suggested opinions and a matrix of research themes was drawn.
