Araştırmanın amacı, Tinkercad ile STEM eğitiminde ortaokul öğrencilerin robotik ve kodlama yönelik tutumları araştırmaktır. 6 hafta süren Araştırmaya (12 kız ve 20 erkek) toplamda 32 ortaokul öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırma 6 hafta sürmüştür. Bu çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada 2 ölçek kullanılmıştır. Ortaokul öğrencilere yönelik robotik tutum ölçeği ve Ortaokul öğrenciler için kodlamaya yönelik tutum ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Araştırma, ön test ve son test şeklinde yapılmıştır. Bağımlı örneklemler için t testi uygulanarak analizler yapılmıştır. Bulgulardan çıkan verilere göre, ortaokul öğrencilere yönelik robotik tutum ölçeği ve ortaokul öğrenciler için kodlamaya yönelik tutum ölçeğinde pozitif yönde anlamlı bir fark çıktığı görülmektedir. Tinkercad portalı üzerinden Arduino İDE programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada 4 uygulama yapılarak bilgileri pekiştirilmiştir. STEM eğitimine uygun hazırlanmış robotik kodlama uygulamaları hazırlanmıştır. Ortaokul öğrencilerin STEM eğitimine olan ilgilerinin artmasını sağlamıştır. Teorik bilgilerin ürüne dönüştürülmesi ve 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin kazanılması açısından bu çalışma önem arz etmektedir.

Attitudes of Secondary School Students towards Robotics And Coding In STEM Education With Tinkercad

Öz

The aim of the research is to investigate the attitudes of middle school students towards robotics and coding in STEM education with Tinkercad. A total of 32 secondary school students (12 girls and 20 boys) participated in the 6-week study. The research lasted 6 weeks. Quantitative research method was used in this study. Two scales were used in the study. Robotic attitude scale for middle school students and attitude scale for coding for middle school students were applied. The research was conducted in the form of pre-test and post-test. Analyzes were made by applying the t test for dependent samples. According to the data obtained from the findings, it is seen that there is a positive significant difference in the robotic attitude scale for secondary school students and the attitude scale for coding for secondary school students. Arduino IDE program was used over Tinkercad portal. In the research, 4 applications were made and their knowledge was reinforced. Robotic coding applications prepared in accordance with STEM education were prepared. It has increased the interest of secondary school students in STEM education. This study is important in terms of transforming theoretical knowledge into products and acquiring 21st century skills.
