Relationship of Programming Skills and Perceived Value of Learning Programming among Information Technology Education Students in Davao Del Sur

Computer programming can be a valuable tool for students to improve their thinking and problem-solving abilities. This study aims to analyze the relationship between programming skills and the perceived value of learning programming among Information Technology Students in Davao Del Sur. This study utilized two adapted questionnaires during the data collection using google form software; the survey was distributed in different schools around Davao Del Sur with 100 respondents. The researchers of this study showcase quantitative research utilizing a correlational research method to analyze the relationship between the two variables. A statistician interpreted and analyzed the collected data using four statistical tools: weighted mean, variance analysis, relative frequency, and Pearson’s r. The interpreted data were explained and presented well by the researchers properly and more clearly. Furthermore, it shows the positive correlations between Programming Skills and Perceived Value of Learning Programming. In connection with that, there is a significant relationship between Programming Skills and Perceived Value of Learning Programming among Information Technology Education students. This positive correlation implies that when the Programming Skills increases, it can be assumed that Perceived Value of Learning Programming also increases.
