Abstract
This research aims to develop a valid and reliable test to determine the coding skill levels of 5–7 years old children in early childhood. The study sample consists of children aged 5–7 who attend primary and pre-school education institutions affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Ağrı and Gaziantep city center in the 2020–2021 academic year. Data were obtained from 308 children, 101 of whom were five years old, 100 were six years old, and 107 were seven. As a data collection tool in research, the “Personal Information Form” containing personal information about children and their parents and the “Early Childhood Coding Skills Assessment Test” developed by the researcher to evaluate the coding skill levels of 5–7-year-old children were used. In the validity analysis to determine the test’s validity and reliability, content-structure validity, criterion-based validity analysis, similar scale compatibility validity, tetrachoric factor analysis, and item difficulty analysis; In the reliability analysis, KR-20 reliability analysis was used. As a result of the findings obtained from the research, the “Early Childhood Coding Skills Assessment Test” is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the skill levels of 5–7-year-old children unplugged coding and robotic coding.
