This article presents the results of a pedagogical experiment
when teaching microcontroller programming. The pedagogical experiment was
conducted at the Faculty of Information Technology of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University in the form of project-based seminars on the Arduino
platform (2017-2020). The experiment was attended by 88 first-year IT students. Our goal in this study is to verify the proposed hypothesis on the use of
the project-based learning method in teaching microcontroller programming. In
the process of conducting a pedagogical experiment, we divided our students into 2 groups: control and experimental. The training of both groups was carried
out according to one curriculum, but using different methods. In the control
group, traditional teaching methods and learning tools were used, and in the experimental group, we used the technology of project-based learning. As assessment criteria, we took the test tasks “pre-test” and “post-test” that we developed
and conducted a survey for the control and experimental groups. We used statistical methods to confirm or refute the proposed hypothesis of our research, that
is, at the end of the pedagogical experiment to get an informed decision about
the difference and coincidence of the obtained data.
