Abstract
<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The use of information technology in education is inevitable by the increasing utilization of gadgets and the internet. The emergence of generation Z has driven the need for transformation in learning process, including in Higher Education area. Learning programming is important and fundamental for informatics students. Numerous endeavors have been executed to achieve satisfactory results that is absorption of graduates within the society and industry. However, there are still many efforts that must be done to meet the high need for informatics graduates who are experts in programming. Ubiquitous learning (u-learning) is a mean for learning anywhere, anytime and through anything that aims to provide the right information at the right time and place to accommodate a lifestyle by utilizing technology. In order to harmonize the current generation Z learning styles, u-learning is considered suitable to comply with their style. This research is a descriptive study design to describe the current situation as a basis for finding facts. The results showed that the students' perceptions showed that the support of the u-learning environment could support them in improving programming learning outcomes and u-learning could be applied in programming learning.</span></p>
Highlights
Many programming experts are needed by the industry
Based on the challenges of higher education, especially in the field of information technology, especially for programming courses, the characteristics of students as generation Z, this study aims to see an overview of the programming learning process that has occurred and the readiness of students to apply u-learning
The achievement score of students who have taken programming courses based on data obtained from the faculty in 2014–2018, can be seen in Figure 1 that the scores of students who achieve the minimum a B grade (Good) or more than 70% decrease both in the Information Systems (SI) study program and Information Engineering (IT)
Summary
Many universities produce graduates in this field but it is still difficult for the industrial world to find suitable resources to meet their needs [1], [2], especially in Indonesia. Higher education institutions that produce IT resources can make this a driving force in preparing students who have technical abilities and holistic abilities [4]. It takes a strong foundation for students who will later become professionals in technology, a field with fast change. The lecturer explains the relevance and benefits of the course material.
