| Popis: | Nowadays the industry of Information Technology (IT) requires a lot of experts on programming but they find it is difficult to hire ones. On the other hand, universities produce many graduates in this field of programming. There is a gap or competency mismatch between computer science graduates/IT graduates with the competencies needed by industry. This phenomenon is a challenge for universities to produce graduates who have abilities that are in accordance with the standards or competencies needed by the industry. The challenge for universities is creating a competent, acceptable and highly competitive workforce by creating learning that can attract students to pursue their competencies. The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of lecturers and professionals in the IT field about the competencies that must be possessed by a programmer through questionnaires distributed to industry and universities. The results of the study show that the competencies of programmers according to industry users, professionals and teaching lecturers do not have a big difference, which means that the learning objectives of programming in higher education are in line with what is desired by the industry as a graduate user. In addition to hard skills and soft skills, currently, a programmer also needs to have business skills. |
