| description | Excellent academic achievement can have a great impact on matriculation students and
influence their decision-making in the next step at the university and the future. However, poor
problem-solving skills in programming subjects makes it difficult to make good decisions.
Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the effect of using EZ-Prog in programming
problem-solving learning among matriculation students. Students were guided by the color
scheme model during the programming problem-solving process. The study population came
from the Kolej Matrikulasi Johor (KMJ) and the sample involved was the 91 students from the
One-Year Science Program, Module Two. The experiments were conducted in three weeks.
The pretest and posttest question set consisted of three subjective questions and classified
into three levels of difficulty according to Bloom's Taxonomy. Data were analyzed using SPSS.
The results showed that there was a significant difference between the pre and posttest results
after using the EZ-Prog. This demonstrates the EZ-Prog technique used in learning
programming problem-solving learning enhances student problem-solving skills. The
implications of this study indicate that EZ-Prog can be used in learning and teaching
algorithms, especially programming problems. Finally, the positive findings from the use of EZProg indicate that this technique can be used as an innovative in teaching programming as it
enhances problem-solving skills among students. This method is not limited to matriculation
students, but also all students that learn a programming language and not limited to one
programming language. |
