The landscape of the education system has changed and evolved in line with global needs, driven by the impact of the information technology revolution occurring worldwide. The Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE), through the Digital Education Policy (2023), has established six core pillars related to digitally fluent students, digitally competent teachers, and digital-based learning materials. Therefore, this study aims to identify the necessity of developing a control structure programming module to enhance the understanding of Form Four students in the Computer Science subject through a qualitative approach. The use of a digital module that includes multimedia elements enhances learning by making it more interactive and accessible. This study involves direct observation of the interactions between three students and one teacher while using the digital module. Additionally, interviews will be conducted with both the students and the teacher to gather their perspectives and experiences regarding the necessity of learning control structures through this digital module. The findings indicate the necessity of using this control structure module to improve students' understanding and assist them in writing control structure programs effectively. The results of this research are expected to provide a framework for educators in the creation or adaptation of digital learning resources. This approach aims to maximize the use of existing technology while simultaneously fostering students' engagement and understanding of Computer Science, with a specific focus on programming related to control structures.
