This study aims to explore the effect of information technologies lesson designed in
constructivist approach on the computational and problem solving skills of the
disadvantaged 6th grade refugee students. The study was conducted in accordance
with the triangulation model and explanatory pattern from mixed method patterns
with 5 girls and 4 boys, a total of 9 students in a public school in Kırşehir province of
Turkey in the 2018-2019 spring semester. The survey stage of the study is an example
of quantitative research based on single group pre-test and post-test experimental
design. The interview stage is completed with qualitative research methods after
obtaining the opinions of the study group in the observation stage researcher's logs for
the procedure were recorded. "Problem Solving Inventory" which was developed by
Serin, Bulut Serin and Saygılı (2010) to measure the problem solving skills of the
primary school students and "Computational Thinking Skills Levels Scale" which was
developed by Korkmaz, Çakır and Özden (2016) to measure the computational
thinking skills of the secondary school students were used as pre-test and post-test in
the study. The results obtained in the study show that, in the 6th grader students'
problem solving skills self-confidence sub-dimension and computational thinking
skills levels scale total score there is a significant difference in favor of the post-test
scores. According to this result, it can be said that the cognitive, kinesthetic and
emotional support given to the students was applied on the basis of social
constructivist approach improved the students' self-confidence and computational
thinking skills related to problem solving skills.
