AP-ASD1: An Indonesian Desktop-based Educational Tool for Basic Data Structure Course
Abstract: Although there
are so many
available data structure educational tools,
it is quite
difficult to find
a suitable tool
to aid students for
learning certain course
[1]. Several major impediments in
determining the tool
are teaching preferences, language barrier,
confusing terminologies, internet
dependency, various degree of material
difficulty, and other
environment aspects. In this
research, a data
structure educational tool
called AP-ASD1 is developed
based on basic
algorithm and data structure course
(ASD 1). Since
AP-ASD1 is developed
following course materials and
not vice versa,
this educational tool
is guaranteed to fit
in our needs.
The feasibility of
AP-ASD1 is evaluated based on two
factors which are functionality correctness and
survey. All features
are correctly functioned
and yield expected output whereas
survey yields fairly good result (84,305% achievement rate).
Based on our
survey, AP-ASD1 meets eligibility standard
and its features
are also successfully integrated. Survey also
concludes that this application is also quite effective as a supportive tool
for learning basic data structure.
