Abstract:

In the 21st century, students are expected to have basic skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, analysis and synthesis, collaborative work, being innovative and productive, and easy access to accurate and up-to-date information. In the acquisition of the skills expected from the 21st century students, the rapid developments in science and technology have an important role in the process of creating the desired behavior change in individuals. It is one of the core features of the programming course that gives students the skills of algorithmic thinking and solving problems that they encounter. The purpose of this research is to reveal the impact of this environment on the levels of problem-solving skills of students, using the Code Game Lab 3D software development environment in programming language teaching. The research work group is made up of 35 students in the 5th class who are located in Samsun Province in the 2017-2018 educational year and have received coding training with Code Game Lab 3D software. The research has used a screening model. The data collection has been used by Cold, Cloud Cold and Respect (2010) to reveal the changes in problem-solving skills of special skilled students before and after application. The data obtained by the quantum data collection tool in the research was analyzed using the SPSS 22 statistical program and the manicure level .05 was accepted in all the analyses carried out in the research. In addition to the visual statistics in the study of Nicel data, the T test was used. The research has shown that coding education has a positive impact on the problem-solving skills of special skilled students.
