Problem-based Collaborative Learning Strategy in Computer Programming

Abstract

Computer programming is the basic skill that has to be possessed by students who attend Algorithm and Programming courses. This skill requires a problem solving strategy and involves a large number of programming logic activities. The purpose of this study is to offer a collaborative learning environment in order to provide a learning experience by interacting socially. However, social interaction does not just happen; the appropriate guiding strategies are needed to support collaborative learning. The proposed strategy is a problem-based practice strategy. This research was conducted on the second semester students of the Informatics Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Computer Science, Pelita Indonesia. Two classes were used for testing, namely the control class with 16 students and the experimental class with 15 students. The control class is taught by conventional collaborative learning and the experimental class is taught by collaborative learning using problem-based practice strategies. The results show that the proposed strategy can be useful for students in improving computer programming skills in a collaborative learning environment with a problem-based approach.

Dialectics of Tradition and Modernity in the Architectural Landscape of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

“…At that moment, the Minister of Religious Affairs, Fachrul Razi, gave an award and appreciation to the Religious Moderation Study Center (PSMB) that had been established at UIN North Sumatra Medan. As the name implies, the Minister of Religious Affairs hopes that this study center can be developed optimally and become a learning center for lecturers and students on campus (Irwan et al, 2023). The event was attended by the Minister of Religious Affairs, Governor of North Sumatra Edy Rahmayadi, and leaders of universities in North Sumatra.…”

Assessing Students' Critical Thinking Skills in Terms of Cognitive Style: A Study of the Application of the Inquiry Collaborative Based V-Lab Model in Programming Courses

“…On the other hand, the use of technology in learning, such as the V-Lab (Virtual Laboratory) model based on collaborative inquiry, has shown the potential to increase interactivity and student involvement in the learning process (I. Irwan et al, 2022). This model allows students to experiment, collaborate, and learn independently, which could theoretically strengthen students' critical thinking skills (Gulsum Asiksoy, 2023).…”

Development of Online-Based Two Stay Two Stray Learning Methods to Improve Student Learning Achievement and Motivation

“…The findings of previous research show that students who carry out online learning tend to be less motivated, which is shown by the enthusiasm and ambition to add new knowledge to a minimum and results in low student achievement (Gustiani, 2020;Zaitun et al, 2021). Students only come to online classes and observe or listen to explanations with various reliable devices, while teachers lack innovation in online learning (Al-Kumaim et al, 2021;Irwan et al, 2022;Zaitun et al, 2021). Students also tend not to be proactive in teaching and learning activities which result in low enthusiasm for student learning.…”
