Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Among the learning methods, practical application involves making practical applications to teach students how to develop applications using the MIT App Inventor interface. This allows students to gain experience by creating their own projects. Additionally, students are presented with sample projects to solve real-world problems. These projects help them consolidate their application development skills. Topics are explained to students using interactive course materials, videos, slides and interactive content. Teaching methods include active participation, asking questions and encouraging discussions to increase student interaction. Additionally, students are supported through methods such as focusing on individual attention and emphasizing real-world context. These methods will help students acquire mobile application development skills and learn in an engaging way.
