The Correlation between Java Programming and BSICT Graduate Attributes of Information Technology Students at Surigao del Norte State University

This study examines the relationship between graduate attributes of 150 Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students and Java programming. The study focuses on graduate-level skills like problem-solving abilities, communication, and problem analysis in relation to Java programming elements like classes, file handling, and methods. A 5-point Likert scale rating is incorporated into the survey questionnaire design in order to quantitatively evaluate the responses. The study makes use of the Jamovi application as a statistical spreadsheet. The outcome shows a good relationship between the characteristics of BSIT graduates, such as communication, problem-solving skills, and problem analysis, and Java programming elements like classes, file handling, and methods. Additionally, some BSIT students find it difficult to use complicated methods, indicating the necessity for instructional strategies, practical projects, assessments, and peer programming exercises.
