The effects of robotics programming on secondary school students’ problem-solving skills

Abstract: Robotics programming is a type of coding that combines mechanics and programming. Robotics technology facilitates coding instruction. Coding improves students' problem-solving skills. However, studies from the literature show that some teaching methods do not have a positive effect on coding skills. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of robotics programming training on secondary school students’ problem-solving skills. For this purpose, the study was conducted as a pretest - posttest quasi-experim… Show more

“…Additionally, by using an LLM for coding, students may feel more empowered to apply their knowledge and skills to new environmental problems and attain agency over their own learning, an established equitable teaching practice (Madkins et al, 2020). However, learning how to code without LLMs helps students to build troubleshooting skills and perseverance (Calışkan, 2023); thus, there are concerns that ChatGPT would reduce the need for students to develop these skills.…”

“…Among the studies in which the effect of coding and educational robotic activities on cognitive skills is examined, one can observe that the effect on the following variables is predominantly analyzed: visual-spatial skills, mental rotation, visual memory (Brainin et al, 2022); verbal comprehension, visual perception, working memory (D'Amico & Guastella, 2019); sustained attention, visual and temporal perception, self-regulation (Encarnação et al, 2014); problem-solving (Çalışkan, 2020;Gratani et al, 2021); reflective problem-solving (Budak et al, 2021;Kalelioğlu, 2015); sequencing skill (Kazakoff et al, 2013); computational thinking and creativity (Noh and Lee, 2020); story writing and visual-spatial skill (Peretti et al, 2020) In this regard, the focus is mostly on studying the effect of educational robotic activities on cognitive skills recently; on the contrary, the effect thereof on executive function skills, which is among cognitive skills, has been analyzed in a limited number of studies.…”

“…Bilişsel bir döngü içinde devam eden bu düşünme süreçleri planlama, ketleme ve çalışan bellek becerilerini güçlendirme potansiyeline sahiptir (Di Lieto ve diğ., 2017). Kodlama ve eğitsel robotik etkinliklerin bilişsel beceriler üzerindeki etkisinin test edildiği araştırmalar incelendiğinde; ağırlıklı olarak görsel uzamsal beceriler, zihinsel rotasyon, görsel bellek (Brainin ve diğ., 2022); sözlü anlama, görsel algı, çalışan bellek (D'Amico ve Guastella, 2019); sürekli dikkat, görsel ve zamansal algı, öz düzenleme (Encarnação ve diğ., 2014); sorun çözme (Çalışkan, 2020;Gratani ve diğ., 2021); yansıtıcı sorun çözme (Budak ve diğ., 2021;Kalelioğlu, 2015); sıralama becerisi (Kazakoff ve diğ., 2013); bilgi işlemsel düşünme ve yaratıcılık (Noh ve Lee, 2020); hikaye oluşturma ve görsel uzamsal beceri (Peretti ve diğ., 2020) değişkenleri üzerindeki etkisinin incelendiği görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda son yıllarda eğitsel robotik etkinliklerin bilişsel beceriler üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasına yönelik ilginin yoğun olduğu, ancak bilişsel becerilerden olan yönetsel fonksiyon becerileri üzerindeki etkisinin sınırlı sayıda çalışmada incelendiği söylenebilir.…”
