In a 2016 study by the Global Chinese Corporation, fewer than 20% of college graduates with information-related majors entered programming-related industries. This discrepancy underscores the need for a comprehensive examination of higher education curricula to align them more closely with labor market demands. The present study aims to identify key variables affecting the learning processes in programming among students in information-related majors, with a focus on enhancing educational outcomes and self-efficacy. Given the complexity of programming, factors such as students’logical thinking abilities, learning motivation, and cognitive styles were analyzed. A questionnaire was administered to 349 vocational college students majoring in Information Technology. The findings revealed three main points: (1) Learning motivation was the most influential factor in programming learning; (2) Variables like logical thinking ability, learning motivation, and cognitive style contributed to the onset of maladaptive cognition; and (3) Maladaptive cognition negatively impacted learners’self-efficacy in programming tasks. These results have implications for instructional design, providing empirical data that educators can use to better align pedagogical strategies with student needs and industry requirements. |
