APPLICATION DESIGN TEACHING MATERIAL PROGRAMMING ALGORITHM 1 USING ANDROID-BASED IDEAL PROBLEM SOLVING (PAMULANG UNIVERSITY CASE STUDY)

Abstract

Education in the digital era demands the development of applications that support the learning process, especially in the discipline of computer programming. Programming Algorithms 1 is a fundamental course in information technology education at Pamulang University. Therefore, this research aims to design an Android-based application that provides interactive teaching materials for the Programming Algorithms 1 course using ideal problem solving methods. The ideal problem solving method is a systematic approach that facilitates the application development process by determining the best solution based on a deep understanding of the problem to be solved. This application is designed to help students understand the basic concepts of programming algorithms through various interactive features such as material explanations, practice questions, and relevant case studies. Apart from that, this application will be equipped with additional features such as discussion forums to facilitate interaction between students and lecturers, as well as learning evaluations that can help students monitor their learning progress. By using the Android platform, this application can be easily accessed via mobile devices, allowing flexible and practical access for users. A case study was conducted at Pamulang University to test the effectiveness and usefulness of the designed application. It is hoped that the results of this research can make a positive contribution to improving the quality of Programming Algorithm 1 learning at Pamulang University, as well as being an inspiration for the development of similar applications in various other educational institutions.
