Enhanced e-book development for robotic coding teaching

This research covers the process of developing an enriched e-book for robotic coding teaching, its implementation plan and teachers' views. In this study, the design-based research model is used because the analysis, design, development and application processes are carried out in a loop. This research consists of two stages. The first phase covers the enriched e-book development process. During the development process, updates were made on the enriched e-book by taking opinions from the teachers. The second stage covers the application process of the enriched e-book developed. The enriched e-book developed consists of the use of a robot set included in the content of coding education, sample applications and evaluation process within the scope of the information technologies and software course in the 6th grades in the 2019-2020 academic year. Book contents and lesson plans were developed by a specialist and researcher and presented to the study group. The study group consists of 10 teachers, 5 men and 5 women, using the EV3 robot set in their classes in the 2019-2020 academic year. Application period lasted 4 weeks. Structured interview form was used to collect data in the study. In the study, the data were analyzed with a specialist in line with the answers given to the interview form and frequency values ​​were examined. As a result of the study, it has been observed that the enriched e-book creates a positive perception in the course, provides motivation to the lesson, and facilitates the learning of the subjects. In addition, suggestions were made for the development of enriched e-book contents.
