Abstract

Analysis of Ability To Detect Program Code Error in Object Oriented Programming Course at Study Program of Informatics Education, Muhammadi-yah University of Sidoarjo. This research aims to analyze students’ difficulties in de-tecting program code error and to know the difficulties faced by students in detecting program code error in Object Oriented Programming (OOP) course. The research method was a qualitative case study type in which data collection techniques were interview, document study, and observation. The individual case data analysis techni-ques were reduction, presentation, conclusion, while data validation were triangula-tion. The result of the research showed the problem of OOP coding error in students of Informatics Education namely syntax error and logical error. Syntax error occured when students were less careful when compiling program code, lack of punctuation, case sensitive errors, and incorrect keywords. In addition, the main causes of logical error were students do not understand the logic of the program flow and lack of knowledge about programming theory.
