Summary/Abstract: The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, which is effective worldwide and continues to show its negative effects in every field, has also shown its negative effects in higher education and an urgent transition to distance education has been made. With distance education, teacher candidates in education faculties started to see applied courses in a theoretical way. Continuing education and training activities, including the teaching practice, which is based on practice, are carried out online, and the positive or negative aspects of this progress on students could not be evaluated due to the rapid and unpreparedness of the process. With this research, it is aimed to obtain and evaluate the opinions of teacher candidates regarding distance education and teaching practices during the pandemic process. In the research, case study, which is one of the qualitative method patterns, was used. The collected data were analyzed by content analysis technique, and the MAXQDA 2020 package program was used in data analysis. The study group of the research consists of teacher candidates who are studying at the faculty of education at a state university and who also take the course of distance education and teaching practice. In line with the findings, it was concluded that the pre-service teachers found distance education inadequate due to the way the lessons were taught and internet problems, and that the continuation of the teaching practice with distance education would create a lack in terms of experience. In the research, there are also the results that distance education has deficiencies in terms of communication and distance from the classroom environment, and the instructors are deemed sufficient in this process.
