摘要
编程是一门很难学习和教授的学科。当学生学习基本的编程信息和技能时,大学水平的编程入门课程(Java、c++、Visual basic和Python)是至关重要的。消极的编程态度会对学生的学习成绩产生负面影响。因此,该研究发现了学生对大学计算机编程课程的认知的影响。该研究涵盖了加纳大学计算机科学专业的学生。在本调查中采用了定量技术的调查描述性设计。研究对象为2030人,样本量为368人。采用有目的抽样方法,选择加纳大学莱贡分校作为研究地点。该研究的参与者是通过分层随机抽样技术选择的。数据收集采用封闭式问卷。采用SPSS version 26和PROCESS Macro对数据进行分析。调查对象的数据采用推理和描述性统计进行检验。研究发现,学生对编程的最高感知是“不熟悉”。研究发现,学生认为编程很容易,投入是学生对编程的最低认知。综上所述,学生对计算机编程认知的显著影响占影响自我效能感因素贡献的84%。
Programming is a difficult subject to learn and teach. When it comes to students learning basic programming information and skills, university-level introductory programming courses (Java, C++, Visual Basic, and Python) are critical. Students' achievement is negatively impacted by a negative attitude about programming. As a result, the study discovered the impact of students' perceptions in university computer programming courses. The study covered students studying Computer Science from the University of Ghana. A survey descriptive design with a quantitative technique was used in this investigation. The population of the study was 2,030 with 368 sample size. Purposive sampling was utilized to choose University of Ghana, Legon as the study's location. The study's participants were chosen using a stratified random sampling technique. Closed-ended questionnaire was used for data collection. The SPSS version 26 and PROCESS Macro were used to analyze the data. Respondents’ data were examined applying both inferential and descriptive statistics. The study revealed that students see programming as unfamiliar was the highest perception of programming to students. The study found that students see programming as easy with dedication was the lowest perception of programming to students. In conclusion, the significant impact of perception of students in Computer Programming account for 84% of the contribution of factors that influence self-efficacy.
