The research aims to assess students' comprehension, practical application, and academic performance concerning binary encoding. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The survey was administered to 84 ICT students, and the gathered data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage distributions. Results indicate that most students find binary encoding beneficial for enhancing problem-solving and analytical skills, with hands-on activities reinforcing theoretical knowledge. A positive correlation was observed between mastery of binary encoding and improved academic performance.
