The Effect of Secondary School Students 'Perceptions of Computing Technologies and Self-Efficiency on Attitudes Towards Coding

The aim of this study is to examine middle school students' perceptions of information technology self-efficacy and their attitudes towards coding according to various variables and to determine the difference between secondary school students' perceptions of information technology self-efficacy and their attitudes towards coding. The study was carried out with 63 students attending 5th and 6th grades in a state school in Hakkari in the 2019-2020 academic year. Pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The work carried out lasted 6 weeks. “Information Technology Self-Efficacy Scale for Secondary School Students” and “Attitude Scale Towards Coding for Secondary School Students” were used as data collection tools. The information technologies self-efficacy scale and attitude scale towards coding applied to students in the first week were re-applied as a post-test without changing the contents after the end of 12 class hours and the results were analyzed. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was determined that the posttest scores of the experimental group were higher than the posttest scores of the control group in the posttest of information technology self-efficacy perceptions applied to the experimental and control groups, and the study was found to be in favor of the experimental group. In the attitude towards coding posttest applied to the experimental and control groups after the application, it was determined that the posttest scores of the experimental group were higher than the posttest scores of the control group, and it was observed that the study was in favor of the experimental group.In the study, it was determined that providing basic information technologies and coding training to the experimental group in addition to the curriculum has a large effect on the perception of information technologies self-efficacy and attitude towards coding.
