Özet:

This research was carried out in order to determine the relationship between these two competencies by determining the algorithmic thinking competencies and problem-solving skills of university students who have taken the basics of programming and mathematics at the associate degree education level. In this study, a survey research model, one of the descriptive research methods, was used. Within the scope of the research, the problem-solving scale prepared by Hepner and Petersen (1982) and adapted into Turkish by Taylan (1990) and the algorithm achievement test developed by the researcher were used. The pre-application reliability coefficient of the developed achievement test was determined as 0.70. The sample of the study is 52 students who are continuing their education in the Department of Computer Technologies at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Technical Sciences Vocational School. As a result of the research; The mean score of algorithmic thinking skills of computer technology students was found to be 64.04 (out of 100 points), and the mean of problem-solving skills was found to be 151.64 (out of 210 points). While students' algorithmic thinking competencies differ according to their grades in programming fundamentals (F(7-44)=2.733, p<0.05) and mathematics course (F(8-43)=3.080, p<0.01), gender (t =-0.618, p > 0.05) did not differ according to the condition. While problem solving skills did not differ significantly according to gender (t =-0.053, p>0.05) and mathematics (F(8-43)=1.876; p>0.05) course grades, programming fundamentals (F(7-44)=2.080, p<0.05) differed according to course grades. It was determined that there was a moderately positive (r=0.423; p<0.01) significant relationship between algorithm success and problem-solving skills.
