Using an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group, the study indicated that students enhanced their computational thinking skills through engagement in coding activities. Specifically, students in the experimental group, participating in unplugged coding activities (Tospaa unplugged coding activities), exhibited heightened perception and improved performance in computational thinking skills in the post-test compared to the pre-test. Conversely, the control group, involved in plugged coding activities (Scratch block-based coding), did not show a significant change in perception of computational thinking skills in the post-test compared to the pre-test. However, their performance in computational thinking skills improved significantly in the post-test compared to the pre-test. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in the perception of computational thinking skills between the unplugged coding group and the plugged coding group, and similarly, no notable distinctions were found in the computational thinking skills performance of both groups. In conclusion, the study suggests a high alignment between students' perceptions of computational thinking and their actual performance in computational thinking.","PeriodicalId":432949,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning","volume":"52 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139167002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, cooking is an ancient profession that has been done by people since ancient times. Especially in recent years, the importance of this profession has increased considerably and more preferred. People usually consider the image of that profession when choosing a profession. Because people's choosing a profession that is compatible with their personal characteristics will increase the efficiency of that profession. In this context, the value and image of a profession are the biggest factors in choosing the profession. When the literature is scanned, it is seen that image determination studies are mainly carried out on nursing and teaching professions. However, it is seen that there are not enough studies on the image of the culinary profession. The aim of this study is in online environment to measure the perceptions of the students who receive non-formal gastronomy education about the culinary profession. In order to achieve this aim, “Image Scale of Culinary Profession” has been developed. This scale consists of 14 items and 4 dimensions. These factors are; It was named as Professional Characteristics (5 items), Personal Characteristics (3 items), Competence (3 items) and Behavioral Characteristics (3 items). The average score that can be obtained from the test is 2.5, the top score is 5, and the base score is 1. The created questionnaire was applied to 391 participants who received gastronomy training in in online environment private education institutions. These data were analysed with SPSS and AMOS programs and subjected to validity and reliability tests. Then t-test was applied to the data. As a result of the test, very significant and positive results were obtained regarding the image of the culinary profession. In addition, it was determined that the image perception of the culinary profession differed according to the demographic characteristics of the students. In this context, it was concluded that the score of the Professional Traits dimension was 4.16, the Personal Traits score was 4.46, the Competencies score was 4.43, and the behavioral traits score was 4.15.

While some students evaluated this process as an advantage, others expressed the difficulties of the process. There are reasons, such as students' ability to organize their learning processes and being aware of their capacities under these different views. It noticed that students with these skills use various strategies in the learning process and adjust the learning process to them. Self-regulation is a prerequisite for a successful learning process and emphasizes the learner's autonomy and personal preferences. Self-regulation skills have become more noteworthy, especially in the online learning process, where students become passive recipients. While students who have developed self-regulation skills in the online learning process are successful, students who do not have this skill are more disadvantaged. Therefore, in this process, we come across two opposite groups, those who turn online learning into an advantage and those who cannot manage this process. It aimed to determine the self-regulated learning skills of pre-service Turkish teachers who have experienced the online learning process in this study. This study was designed according to the descriptive scanning method and was limited to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-grade students in the Department of Turkish Language Teaching.
