This experimental study was conducted to determine the self-efficacy perception and distance learning satisfaction of Kozaklı Vocational School students receiving animation-supported anatomy education. The study was conducted on 225 students who took active lessons in the distance education process using the student information form, Distance Education Assessment and Anatomy Self-Efficacy Questionnaires via Google form. It was determined that 51.7% of the participants lived in the city center, 31.8% in the district center, and 16.6% in the countryside. In this study, the total distance education satisfaction score was calculated as 63.20 ± 15.97 and the anatomy basic competence score as 44.84 ± 6.69. A low positive correlation was found between the proficiency level in anatomy course and satisfaction with distance education (r = 0.301, p<0.001). The distance education system has taken its place in academic education permanently and is used extensively. The ability to rewatch lectures, the elimination of accommodation and transportation costs, and the clarity of instructional materials were identified as the most significant advantages of distance education. While inadequate application lessons, lack of internet infrastructure and lack of technological equipment in crowded families were criticized aspects of the system.
