Abstract

Bu araştırmada çevrimiçi Arduino programlama öğretiminin bağlılık ve öz-yeterlik algısı açısından değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında geliştirilen çevrimiçi öğretim Tinkercad benzetim ortamında hazırlanmış etkileşimli Arduino videolarının yanı sıra iki haftada bir yapılan sanal sınıf toplantılarından oluşmaktadır. Öğretim Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı’nın Hayat Boyu Öğrenme Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından geliştirilen Arduino Programlama ve Uyum Eğitimi modülünün Arduino Uygulamaları ünitesi kapsamındaki hedef ve kazanımları içerecek şekilde sekiz hafta sürmüştür. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı araştırmada tek gruplu ön test son test deneysel desen araştırma deseni olarak benimsenmiştir. Araştırmanın bağımsız değişkeni çevrimiçi Arduino öğretimi bağımlı değişkenleri ise çevrimiçi bağlılık ve programlama öz-yeterlik algısıdır. Çevrimiçi öğretime Kırklareli Üniversitesi’nde eğitim alan 37 öğrenci katılım göstermiştir. Araştırmada ön-test son test farklarının normal dağılım gösterdiği durumlarda bağımlı örneklemler için t-testi normal dağılım göstermediği durumlarda ise Wilcoxon sıra sayıları işaret testi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan veri analizi sonuçlarına göre öğrenciler çevrimiçi Arduino programlama öğretiminde programlama öz-yeterlik algıları basit ve karmaşık düzeyde son test lehine anlamlı olarak değişmiştir. Çevrimiçi bilişsel ve duyuşsal bağlılıkta benzer şekilde son test lehine anlamlı değişim gözlemlenirken davranışsal bağlılıkta oluşan fark anlamlı değildir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre geliştirilen çevrimiçi Arduino programlama öğretimi Tinkercad ’in uygulama olanağı sunması, soru cevap etkileşimi ve iki haftada bir yapılan sanal sınıf toplantıları gibi özellikleriyle birlikte düşünüldüğünde programlama öz-yeterlik algısını ve çevrimiçi bağlılığı olumlu etkilemektedir. Araştırma sonuçları ve alanyazında yapılan çalışmalar dikkate alınarak Tinkercad ve Arduino’nun çevrimiçi programlama öğretiminde kullanılmasına yönelik araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara öneriler getirilmiştir.

Perception of Engagement and Self-Efficacy in Online Arduino Instruction

Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to evaluate the online Arduino programming teaching in terms of university students' perception of engagement and self-efficacy. The online teaching developed within the scope of the research consists of interactive Arduino videos prepared in the Tinkercad simulation environment, as well as virtual classroom meetings held every two weeks. The education lasted for eight weeks, including the objectives and achievements within the scope of the Arduino Applications unit of the Arduino Programming and Adaptation Training module developed by the General Directorate of Lifelong Learning of the Ministry of National Education. In the study, in which quantitative research methods were used, a single-group pre-test post-test experimental design was adopted as the research design. The independent variable of the research is online Arduino teaching, and the dependent variables are online engagement and programming self-efficacy perception. 37 students studying at Kırklareli University participated in the online teaching. In the study, in cases where the pre-test and post-test differences were normally distributed, the t-test for dependent samples was not normally distributed, and the Wilcoxon ordinal number sign test was applied. According to the results of the data analysis, the students' self-efficacy perceptions of programming in online Arduino programming teaching changed significantly in favor of the simple and complex posttest. Similarly, a significant change in favor of the posttest was observed in online cognitive and affective engagement, while the difference in behavioral engagement was not significant. The online Arduino programming teaching developed according to the results of the research, when considered together with the features of Tinkercad such as providing application opportunity, question-answer interaction and virtual class meetings held every two weeks, positively affects the perception of programming self-efficacy and online engagement. Considering the research results and the studies in the literature, suggestions have been made to researchers and practitioners for the use of Tinkercad and Arduino in online programming teaching.
