Objectives

Our teachers increased the teaching skills with the help of CODING and ROBOTIC trainings although they have monoton business approach and burnout syndrome because of teaching lessons by using traditional methods before this education. Catching up with an educational environment in which lessons are more efficient, so the students wantto be active participants and with the integration of the technology which was a necessity of our future, contributed to our teachers professional development and motivated them. and their computer skills developed through the English and Basic Computer trainings in LTTs. So our teachers: - increased interests in digital lessons (Maths, Science, Computer Sciences,Languages, etc) by making them mored attractive and more comprehensive with the help of robots, - learned CODING and ROBOTIC Programming language and also how to oparate it, - started to use computational thinking approach in their lessons , - Our education level was internationalized. - Algorithmic thinking was realized, cooperation with ICT teachers was provided, and students' problem-solving skills were developed in real life. - Teachers gained awareness about learning environments using coding / robotic tools and their mentality, etc.

Background

We planed to overtake the need for experience exchange in the field of distance teaching that has been imposed by the pandemic. In the next ten years, was predicted that there will be a new Industrial Revolution and the highestdigital technology will be integrated to the production and value chain. (Boston Consultin Group, 2015), that’s why we choose to develop coding and programming, we consider that this are more important than ever in all sectors in 21st century. It is a known fact that those who are looking for and developing new ways to learn and teach coding will be one step ahead. The results of survey conducted in our educational institution, it was clear that our teachers were eager to bring technology to classroom but have some knowledge and practice deficiencies, so, the general purpose of our Project was to be able to use CODING activities effectively in interdisciplinary education and to be able to manage integratation of it to our educational system. Thanks to innovative educational environments, the social success of the school will increase in partner organisations. For this reason teachers needed more activities in the lessons where students can use or develop their computational process skills
