The Effect of Design Thinking Based Robotic Activities on Planning Skill

Abstract

This study examined the effect of robotic activities based on design thinking on the planning skills of primary school students and student experiences regarding the process. The research was carried out with 28 primary school 4th-grade students. The quantitative dimension of the research, which was modeled in the explanatory sequential mixed design, was carried out in the pre-test post-test single-group quasi-experimental model, and the qualitative dimension was carried out in the phenomenological design. Students' planning skills were measured using the four-disc version of the Tower of London Test. The students' experiences on robotic activities based on design thinking were determined by the semi-structured interview form developed within the scope of the research. An approach ranging from technology to pedagogy was tested in experimental conditions to be a model for integrating robotic activities based on design thinking into educational processes. In the analysis of quantitative data, one-way ANOVA was preferred for repeated measurements, and deductive content analysis was preferred in qualitative data analysis. The research results show that robotic activities based on design-oriented thinking significantly increase planning time, the number of problems solved within three trials, and planning skills. There was no significant effect on the number of problems solved in the first trial. No significant difference was found regarding the gender variable in all measurements related to planning skills. Qualitative findings revealed that students' perceptions of robotic activities changed, their awareness of robotics increased due to coding, they found the mechanical dimension challenging, and the overall process more fun than they thought.

Tasarım Odaklı Düşünmeye Dayalı Robotik Etkinliklerin Planlama Becerisine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada tasarım odaklı düşünmeye dayalı robotik etkinliklerin ilkokul öğrencilerinin planlama becerilerine olan etkisi ve sürece ilişkin öğrenci deneyimleri incelenmiştir. Araştırma 28 ilkokul 4. Sınıf öğrencisinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Açıklayıcı ardışık karma desende modellenen araştırmanın nicel boyutu ön test son test tek gruplu yarı deneysel modelde, nitel boyutu ise fenomoneolojik desende yürütülmüştür. Öğrencilerin planlama becerileri Londra Kulesi Testi 4 diskli dijital versiyonu kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Öğrencilerin tasarım odaklı düşünmeye dayalı robotik etkinliklere ilişkin deneyimleri ise araştırma kapsamında geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile tespit edilmiştir. Tasarım odaklı düşünmeye dayalı robotik etkinliklerin eğitsel süreçlere entegre edilmesine model olması amacıyla teknolojiden pedagojiye uzanan bir yaklaşım deneysel koşullarda test edilmiştir. Nicel verilerin analizinde tekrarlı ölçümler için tek yönlü ANOVA, nitel verilerin analizinde ise tümden gelimsel içerik analizi tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları tasarım odaklı düşünmeye dayalı robotik etkinliklerin öğrencilerin planlamaya ayırdıkları zaman, planlama becerisi ve üç deneme içinde çözülen problem sayılarını anlamlı bir şekilde artırdığını göstermektedir. İlk denemede çözülen problem sayısında anlamlı bir etki tespit edilmemiştir. Planlama becerisine ilişkin tüm ölçümlerde cinsiyet değişkenine ilişkin anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmemiştir. Nitel bulgular öğrencilerin robotik etkinliklere ilişkin algılarının değişim gösterdiği, kodlamaya bağlı olarak robotik farkındalıklarının arttığı, mekanik boyutunu zorlayıcı, sürecin genelini ise sandıklarından daha eğlenceli buldukları tespit edilmiştir.
