Abstract
This research was conducted in 5 central districts of Kayseri province in the 2022-2023 academic year in order to examine the pre-school teachers' levels of computational thinking skills and their attitudes towards using technological tools and the relationship between these two variables. The sample of the study consists of 210 preschool teachers. The survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. "Demographic Information Form”, "Computational Thinking Skills Scale” and "Attitude Scale Towards the Use of Technological Tools in Preschool Education" were used to obtain research data. In this study, pre-school teachers' computational thinking skills and attitudes towards technology use were examined in terms of teachers' gender, educational status, seniority, technology-related education status, and it was tried to determine whether there was a significant relationship between these 2 variables. At the end of the research findings, it was revealed that there is a positive and moderate relationship between pre-service teachers' computational thinking skills and attitude towards technology use. In addition, it was concluded that the pre-school teachers' computational thinking skills and attitudes towards the use of technological tools and equipment did not make a significant difference according to the variables of gender, educational status, professional seniority, and education status related to technology.
