An explanatory-sequential mixed-methods design was employed in the research. The study sample included 40 sixth-grade students enrolled in a public middle school. The study opted for a single-group pretest-posttest design for the quantitative stage, while the semi-structured interviews were conducted to delve into qualitative insights. During the eight-week intervention, students received educational robotics training. The students were administered the “Achievement-Oriented Motivation Scale” before and after the training. The data obtained from the scales were analyzed using paired samples t-test. As a result of this analysis, it was found that the student’s achievement-oriented motivation increased significantly at a statistical level following the intervention. It was also observed that students gradually developed belief and enthusiasm toward overcoming challenges as a result of the applications.}, number={2}, publisher={Çukurova Üniversitesi}
