Design and Evaluation of Computer Programming Education Strategy using Arduino

Abstract

Arduino, physical computing platform, provides learner heuristic environment to achieve core values of SW/HW knowledge. This research design teaching and learning model for programming education with Arduino platform. This model supports multi component of various techniques, which are based on core knowledge from design, computer science and electronic engineering. In this environment, learners try to make prototype with low fidelity design method such as brainstorming and sketching. After then students will approach more sophisticated method with programming techniques, which include shaping, and forming knowledge from those of who attend Arduino project. To do this we designed teaching and learning model for Arduino-based programming education and then applied it to education field for 5 weeks with 26 students at Incheon education district. We develop the 'bling-bling art design' curriculum which is composed 10 chapters with LED artworks. We found that our approaches could more provide strength such as problem solving ability, creation techniques, flow of learning compare than traditional programming education approaches.

Arduino Destekli Analitik Kimya Deneylerinin Öğretmen Adaylarının Bilişim Teknolojileri Öz-Yeterliğine Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

“…The results obtained thus support the findings of this study. In accordance with this study, the use of computer based technology support in physics laboratory applications has improved the attitudes of the participants towards communication technologies (Arakliotis, Nikolos, & Kalligeros, 2016;Buluş Kırıkkaya & Başaran, 2019;Çömek & Avcı, 2016;Günbatar & Karalar, 2018;Merino, Ruiz, Fernandez, & Gil, 2016;Numanoğlu & Keser, 2017;Oluk & Korkmaz, 2018;Sohn, 2014). It has been seen that activities based on coding in science courses improve students' skills and achievement (Çömek & Avcı, 2016).…”

“…In researches carried out with different research designs, technology-supported teaching environments such as Robotics and Arduino positively affect the attitudes, interests, motivations and skills of the students both in cognitive and affective dimensions (Buluş Kırıkkaya & Başaran, 2019). For example, it has been observed that students' attitudes towards information communication technologies have increased in technology-supported physics laboratory (Arakliotis, Nikolos, & Kalligeros, 2016;Buluş Kırıkkaya & Başaran, 2019;Çömek & Avcı, 2016;Günbatar & Karalar, 2018;Merino, Ruiz, Fernandez, & Gil, 2016;Numanoğlu & Keser, 2017;Oluk & Korkmaz, 2018;Sohn, 2014). In addition to that, Sáez-López, Román-González and Vázquez-Cano ( 2016) investigated the use of Scratch between the 5th and 6th grades in Spain and found that high and positive attitudes and motivation emerged due to the use of Scratch.…”

“…Attitudes and problem solving skills were examined in the studies conducted according to experimental design with control and experimental groups. It was concluded that there was a significant difference in attitude and problem solving skills of the students who applied with Arduino (Sohn, 2014). Analyzing some researches that relate problem solving and programming, it is stated that programming education contributes to the development of problem solving skills in students.…”

How Do Elementary Childhood Education Teachers Perceive Robotic Education in Kindergarten? A Qualitative Study

“…For example, Lin and Kuo (2010) used robotic kits in programming education of primary and secondary school students and reported improvement in programming skills. In another experimental study, using robotic kits has a positive effect on students' attitudes and problem-solving skills (Sohn, 2014). Similarly, Sullivan (2008) find out that robotic activities have a positive effect on secondary school student's scientific process skills and on comprehending systems skills.…”
