Abstract
As the necessity of maker education is being emphasized and the app generation is now entering school, expectations concerning the impact of app development education are rising in the field of education. The introduction and rise in popularity of a new type of education, such as app development education, requires a change in attitude among teachers. Therefore, this study focused on the concerns of in-service teachers regarding app development education by applying the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) of Hall and Hord (2015). For this purpose, the data was collected from 23 in-service teachers who attended a short teacher training session that introduced app development training. The data was converted to the relative intensity based on the stage of concerns questionnaire (SoCQ) scoring device and was expressed as the SoCQ profile. The results of the survey concerning app development education showed that the stage 0 concern (unconcerned) was reported most frequently by teachers and the stage 4 concern (consequence) was reported least frequently. This kind of result, which is typical at the beginning of the introduction of a new education program, indicates that teachers recognize app development education but do not have sufficient information regarding it. Qualitative results also showed that teachers understand the educational possibilities of app development education, but they were worried about the difficulties expected to be applied in the field. Based on these results, we suggest that more detailed information on app development education be provided through teacher training.
