Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to determine views of classroom teachers about robotic applications. This study was carried out with 48 classroom teachers during the 2017-2018 educational year. In the study, the "Robotics Pre-Test”, which was developed by Riberio (2006) and translated into Turkish by Koç Şenol (2012), as well as \"Robotics Satisfaction Test\", which was developed by Silva (2008) and Gibbon (2007) and translated into Turkish by Koç Şenol (2012), and "Personal Information form\" and a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher after reviewing the relevant literature were used to collect the data. In the analysis of the data obtained, descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage distribution) were used to evaluate Robotics PreTest and Robotics Satisfaction Test; inductive content analysis was used to analyze the interview data. According to the findings of this study, knowledge level and opinions of teachers in regard with robotics and how they see robotics as a method in education were determined. At end of the study, it was eventually found that teachers have very positive thoughts about robotics.Keywords : Classroom teachers, Robotics
