The effect of explaining the topic of 3B modeling using gamification method on the motivation, attitude and computer thinking skills of gifted students towards technology and design course

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of teaching 3D modeling using gamification method on the motivation, attitude and computational thinking skills of gifted students towards Technology and Design course. The study was designed in an experimental design. In the study, the experimental model was preferred as "pretest-posttest and control group design". As a result of the analysis of the data obtained in this study, it was found that teaching 3D modeling using gamification method did not increase the motivation and attitudes of gifted students towards technology design course. In addition, it was concluded that teaching 3D modeling using gamification method did not have an effect on the development of gifted students' computational thinking skills. The reasons for the lack of a significant difference in the findings of the research sub-problems were discussed.
