Abstract:

This study, it was aimed to reveal middle school students' views on basic-level robotic coding education and how they establish a relationship between robotic coding and science education. The study group of the research, in which qualitative research methodology was employed, consisted of 28 middle school students. The 28 students in the study group responded to a questionnaire consisting of eight open-ended items to determine their opinions after receiving basic robotic coding training. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. According to the results of the research, the students stated that they learned especially electronic concepts and electronic circuit elements, they had difficulties in creating electronic circuits and then writing code during the training, they had fun during the training, and it could be useful to use it in science courses. Based on the results of the study, it can be said that students will be satisfied with the integration of robotic coding into science courses, but their experience in circuit building and coding should be increased beforehand.
