Abstract

Programming is a difficult task that requires the creation of new ideas, thinking, and creative skills. The study, therefore, aimed to strengthen BASIC's programming skills to guide and mentor students at Veritas University Abuja, Nigeria. The researchers assessed students' interest in computer usage and gender differences. The study adopted the group that controls most, the experimental structure. 100 and 200 level undergraduate students are selected on a well-equipped computer and existing Computer lecturers are deliberately chosen at the University. Two non-static classes with 50 students are periodically assigned to the Experimental (25) and Control (25) groups. The treatment lasted six weeks. The instruments used were descendants of Undergraduate Students ’graduates towards the Question nailing Usage Questionnaire and Programming Skills Performance with the reliable coefficient of 0.78 and 0.88, respectively. Data were obtained from covariance analysis, with a significance level of 0.05. More than half of the participants were female (62%). Treatment had a significant impact on students in the language of BASIC Programming F = 36.385; p
