The effective implementation of distance education (DE) depends upon users having a positive attitude towards it. Preservice teachers have been unprepared for unexpected change because of the pandemic, bringing increased involvement of various types of DE. This study examines the level and predictors of attitudes towards DE among 103 preservice teachers enrolled in various departments of a private university in Northern Cyprus. Determining the attitudes of preservice teachers towards DE is important regarding they can transfer their skills and competencies on DE to their students in the future. Using an online survey, consisting of the demography and Distance Education Attitude Scale (DEAS), as a data collection instrument, the study shows that preservice teachers possessed a low-level positive attitude towards DE. They believed that the importance of DE has been increasing day by day, but it is a luxury for their countries. Results show that preservice teachers had neutral attitudes through DE about increasing one's learning capacity and productivity and improving the quality of the education. T-test and ANOVA analyses indicated that the independent variables had no significant effect on preservice teachers' attitudes towards DE. It can be supposed that preservice teachers share a common ground in their attitudes towards DE.
