In the age we are in and expressed as the 21st century, it is stated that students should have a variety of skills. One of these skills is the ability to processive thinking. Information processual thinking is defined as a way to solve problems using the basic concepts of computer science, to design systems and to understand human behavior. Today, this skill is expressed as a skill that should be possessed by not only computer experts, but by all individuals. Different methods are used for the development of information processual thinking skills. Programming teaching is one of the methods used in the teaching of this skill. Programming in the field of problem-solving, creativity and critical thinking 21. The study has been achieved as a result of its influence on century skills. These findings indicate that programming teaching has an impact on processual thinking of information that covers the skills of the 21st century. Therefore, this study aims to study the impact of programming teaching on students’ knowledge-processive thinking skills. The research work group 2016-2017 is composed of 54 persons studying in the 1st class in the Computer Programming Department, taking the programming foundations course and continuing the course. Computer Thinking Skills is used as a data collection tool. In the analysis of the obtained data, visual statistics and related samples were applied to the t-test. At the end of the study, it was achieved that there was a significant difference between the pre-test-est points of the work group in terms of the information processing thinking skills score. It has also been found that information processual thinking skills are not differentiated in terms of gender and programming skills. From these findings, it can be said that programming teaching can have a positive impact on information processing thinking and that this effect is independent of gender and level of programming skills.
