International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, v13 n3 p2000-2025 2021
In the digital world, where robotics implementations are taking a place in educational processes with increasing acceleration, it is important that pre-service teachers gain competences in this field that addresses the needs of the future. From this point of view, the aim of this study is to design an activity process in which pre-service science teachers will experience robotic implementations and to determine their opinions about this process. In line with this aim, a four-week out-of-school activity process which was implemented with 46 pre-service science teachers was designed. In this process, pre-service teachers were provided iDea software to design. The data of this case study was collected through a structured interview form. According to the results, it was concluded that the awareness and curiosity levels towards robotic implementations of pre-service teachers increased and their confidence in their own competence levels increased through the experiences gained by the participants in the activity process.
