The Opinions of Classroom Teachers about Robotics Applications

Year 2018, Volume: 11 , 123 - 127, 01.12.2018

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine views of
classroom teachers about robotic
applications. This study was carried out with 48 classroom teachers during the 2017-2018 educational year. In
the study, the “Robotics Pre-Test”, which was developed
by Riberio (2006) and translated into Turkish
by Koç Şenol (2012), as well as "Robotics Satisfaction
Test", which was developed by Silva (2008) and Gibbon (2007) and
translated into Turkish by Koç Şenol (2012), and “Personal
Information form" and a semi-structured interview form developed by the
researcher after reviewing the relevant 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 PreTest 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.
