Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu araştırmada, detaylı bir alanyazın taraması ve belge incelemesi ile elde edilen veriler temel alınarak uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda Uzaktan Eğitim Kalite Standartlarının belirlenmesi, belirlenen standartların önemine ve kullanılabilirliğine yönelik uzaktan eğitim çalışanlarının görüşlerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada nitel yöntemlerle başlayıp nicel yöntemlerle devam edilen keşfedici desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel kısmında, uluslararası uzaktan eğitim kurumlarının belirlediği uzaktan eğitim standartları üzerinde belge incelemesi yapılmıştır. Yapılan inceleme sonrasında elde edilen 25 boyut ve 337 standart maddesi iki tur uzman görüşü alma aşaması ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçta 10 boyut altında toplam 97 standart maddesi Uzaktan Eğitim Kalite Standartları olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın nicel kısmında ise Uzaktan Eğitim Standartları Belirleme Envanteri ile belirlenen standartların önemine ve kullanılabilirliğine ilişkin uzaktan eğitim çalışanlarının görüşleri alınmıştır. Çalışmanın bu aşamasında 4 üniversitenin uzaktan eğitim çalışanlarından oluşan 56 katılımcı görüş bildirmiştir. Katılımcılar bu çalışma kapsamında belirlenen Uzaktan Eğitim Kalite Standartlarını kullanılabilir ve önemli bulmuşlardır.
