An evaluation of the 10th grade robotic coding curriculum (2020) within a participant oriented curriculum evaluation approach

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the 10th grade robotics coding curriculum (2020) with a participant-oriented program evaluation approach. The research was designed with the convergent mixed methods design. This design is the most well-known mixed research design, whereby both qualitative and quantitative data are collected simultaneously. 60 Information Technologies field teachers working in vocational and technical secondary education institutions, 126 vocational and technical secondary education information technologies students participated in the quantitative dimension of the study, 10 information technologies field teachers, and 5 administrators working in vocational and technical secondary education institutions whose field is information technologies participated in the qualitative dimension. According to the findings of the study, it was seen that the opinions of the teachers about the general robotic coding curriculum and the objectives, content,learning experiences dimension were at the level of agree, while their opinions about the measurement and evaluation dimension were at the level of undecided. In addition, when the qualitative and quantitative data were examined, it was concluded that the teachers had problems in realizing the achievements due to the inadequacy, cost and inaccessibility of the training materials. As a result of the quantitative data obtained from the students, it was concluded that the robotics coding course was at a sufficient level to concretize the programming logic, the robotics coding course increased the interest of the students in the field of information technologies, this course made coding education enjoyable for the students, and the application activities were suitable for the development of the students.
