Pelatihan Peningkatan Literasi Pemrograman Dasar bagi Siswa SMA melalui Pemrograman Terstruktur Berbasis Java

The development of information technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era requires the younger generation to possess digital literacy skills, one of which is computer programming. Programming is not only a technical skill but also helps in developing logical, systematic, and creative thinking. This study aims to describe the implementation and results of Java-based basic programming literacy training for 30 SMA 3 students. The students were selected based on their interests and recommendations from teachers. The training was held in a computer laboratory, utilizing a learning-by-doing approach with methods that included material delivery, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. Evaluation was conducted through both theory tests and simple programming tasks. The results indicated an average 30% increase in understanding of structured programming concepts compared to before the training. Additionally, 85% of the students were able to successfully complete tasks involving the creation of simple programs using variables, operators, branching, and loops. Beyond the technical skills, the training also had a positive impact on non-technical skills such as self-confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking. In conclusion, this training program successfully met its goal of enhancing students’ basic programming literacy and can serve as a practical learning model that aligns with the needs of the digital era, encouraging active participation in the digital world.
