The aim of this study is to determine the perceptions of teacher candidates regarding the concepts of "teacher" and "student" in the Covid-19 pandemic process with the help of metaphors. The research data were obtained from 140 teacher candidates who continue their education in the special education department of Anadolu University in Eskişehir province in the 2020-2021 academic year. Content analysis technique, one of the qualitative data analysis techniques, was used in the analysis of the research data. In the study, pre-service teachers developed a total of 78 metaphors under 9 different categories regarding the concept of "teacher", and a total of 63 metaphors under 9 different categories regarding the concept of "student". With the effect of distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic process on the concept of "teacher", some different categories that are less emphasized in the literature (as person struggling with difficulties and constantly working, designer and artist, anxious person and who do not know what to do) have also emerged. From the student's point of view, in this period, it was understood that the concept of "student" was perceived as someone needing love, attention and support, obeying and following instructions, developing himself, researching and building knowledge, anxious person and who do not know what to do.
