The main purpose of distance education is to overcome the barriers to access to education, to provide lifelong education, and to support professional and personal development. Distance education has an auxiliary, complementary and supportive role in the general education system. With the Covid-19 pandemic, distance education has gained a new meaning and dimension and has become a solution tool to meet the need for "urgent education". In this study, it was aimed to evaluate chemistry teachers’ views on teaching chemistry with distance education. 23 chemistry teachers working in various high schools in the Keçiören district of Ankara participated in the study, which was conducted using semi-structured interview questions. The findings of the research showed that the participants were of the opinion that teaching chemistry through distance education is very difficult for high school level due to its unique characteristics, and that even if it is tried to be given, the objectives of the course cannot be achieved, and the desired results cannot be obtained. In addition, it was determined that the participants thought that the delivery of chemistry course through distance education led to a decrease in productivity and performance for both teachers and students; the device and internet connection problems used in accessing distance education caused disruptions; there was a decrease in participation and willingness to participate in the course; discipline problems, indifference to the course and school; and insufficient assessment and evaluation.
