The Uncommon Approaches of Teaching the Programming Courses: The Perspective of Experienced Lecturers

Abstract

Programming courses have become one of the impor tant courses for all sc iences programs which are offered at the tertiary level (university). Curren tly, the students are compulsory to enroll in at least one basic programming course in order to fulfill the requi rement of the university. The university needs more experienced lecturers to teach the programming courses. Most of the students are not interested in programming subj ect and they have considered the programming course as a high failure rate course. As a lecturer, we s hould be able to change their negative perception and motivate the students to use and apply the programming sk ills in their life.
