Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the problem-solving difficulties of Information Technology Education students in Basic Programming. A qualitative approach with case study research was conducted using data collection techniques such as interviews, document studies, participant observation, and data triangulation. The study revealed that students struggle with problem identification, formulating problem-solving plans, implementing the plans with syntax and semantic errors, and lack of alternative plans. The findings highlight the need to improve programming education and provide students with effective problem-solving strategies. This study has implications for programming educators to develop better teaching methods and tools to enhance student problem-solving skills.
