The purpose of this study is to reveal the views of 4th grade primary school students about mobile programming education. Data were collected by using interview, metaphor and student drawings under qualitative research method. Among the 135 students who participated in the mobile programming education, 24 fourth grade primary school students who were selected via the purposeful sampling method, took part in the study. Content analysis was used to analyze the data collected through the semi-structured interview form. The drawings of the students which reflected what the mobile programming education meant for them were evaluated through document analysis. As a result, it can be said that mobile programming education contributes positively to students' mobile programming, scientific and creative thinking skills and social skills. It is recommended to use MIT App Inventor in programming education for primary school students.
