The effects of algorithm-based software education using micro:bit on elementary school students' creativity

Abstract

This study analyzed the effects after developing and applying a software education program using microbits based on the ADDIE development model as an educational plan for improving the creativity of elementary school students. The educational program was
developed based on the results of pre-requirement analysis conducted with 40 elementary school teachers. In order to verify the effectiveness of the developed education program, 42 participants of the educational donation program conducted by J University were held for 6 days, 7 sessions per day, for 24 students. As a result of conducting pre and post-tests using Torrance's TTCT test and analyzing educational effects, it was found that the software education program developed in this study had a positive effect on the creativity of elementary school students.
