The aim of this study is to evaluate the processes of programming teaching in the context of Information
Technologies and Software course. In the study where qualitative research method was adopted, teachers'
answers to open-ended questions were subjected to content analysis and common themes were created. Within
this scope, nine Information Technology Teachers graduated from different programs, working in different
regions and different school types have answered open-ended questions. Teachers defined their knowledge as
intermediate and above-sufficient in terms of block-based programming tools, and expressed themselves as
beginner or not competent, especially for physical programming environments. There were both positive and
negative responses for teaching computer science at an early age. Similarly, there are both positive and negative
views on Information Network in Education Activity Books and Coding Guide. The number of students per
computer is the most important problem raised regarding the instructional process. According to the opinions
reported in terms of students, students are uninterested to the course and they do not have computers at home for
practicing. The teachers stated that there is a need for teaching material for a more effective teaching process
and laboratory conditions need to be improved.
