Abstract

Advances in technology are closely related to many areas. It is possible to see the effect of technology in administrative sciences, health sciences, educational sciences and many areas. These developments shape new designs and innovation areas. Distance education platforms keep up with developments in technology. It is seen that information systems constantly renew themselves. In this study, quasi-experimental research model is used. The aim of this study is to examine a distance education program designed for programming language teaching in terms of students' academic success and ability to practice. This research was carried out with the students of Doğa College in Osmaniye in 2019. 2 classes of 32 students constitute the sample of the study. There are 14 students in the experimental group and 18 students in the control group. The students in the experimental group made their own applications after the programming language training with the application under the title \"Try Yourself\" in the software. A web-based learning environment designed for students has been developed. The learning environment is designed according to the principles of web-based environment development. 10-question pre-test and post-test questions were applied to the students at the beginning and end of the training. In addition, at the end of the training, a five-point Likert-type scale with 50 questions was applied. At the end of the research, it was determined that there is no significant difference in the learning environment designed for students' academic achievement and ability to practice.
