The study aims to identify factors consisting of students’ experiences related to distance education. The research data was collected during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 from upper secondary school students and 9th grade students of basic education (N=189). In addition, workshops were held with upper secondary school students (N=45), where appropriate practices and challenging areas of distance education were discussed. The collected data was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method. The students emphasized that a functional distance learning environment supports social, psychological and physical well-being. The study highlights students’ varying needs for support and the importance of multidimensional social interaction in distance education. In addition, students’ experiences of self-regulation are linked to the experience of self-efficacy. The results can be implemented when developing guidance practices in distance education that take into account physical and experiential distance learning environments.
