Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the
opinions of teachers about robotics. This research aims to explore knowledge
level and opinions of teachers in regard with robotic applications. In this
research one group pretest‐posttest design is used.
The study group of this research consists of 20 teachers. “Robotic Pre-test”,
“Robotics Satisfaction Test”, “Personal Information Form” and a semi-structured
interview from developed in accordance with the literature were used to collect
the data. In the analysis of the data obtained, descriptive statistics
(frequency and percentage distribution) were used to evaluate Robotics Pre-Test
and Robotics Satisfaction Test; inductive content analysis was used to analyze
the interview data. According to the findings of this study, knowledge level
and opinions of teachers in regard with robotics and how they see robotics as a
method in education were determined. At end of the study, it was eventually
found that teachers have very positive thoughts about robotics. Robotic
applications appear to increase their self-belief and confidence.
