Abstract:
This article demonstrates how AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools enable new teaching approaches for algorithm design and C/C++ and Python programming language education. The research design uses an improved survey tool based on one previous paper to study how AI tools affect student achievement results. The new teaching method provides students with better support through its interactive educational activities. The research shows how AI tools can be used for educational work through two examples which demonstrate automated code assistance and automated assessment feedback. The assessment of educational methods based on their operational effectiveness and individualized learning advantages shows how AI technology improves technical education. The research evaluates AI tool advantages while studying their restrictions and difficulties which include students becoming too reliant on technology. The research investigates proper knowledge assessment methods because it reveals possible issues with current knowledge assessment practices. Teachers need to assess AI implementation effects in technical education to establish research directions for upcoming development work. Teachers need to modify their teaching methods. Students acquire programming abilities and AI tool operational competencies through this educational method. The educational method enables students to develop better market readiness. The article demonstrates that teaching programming education through this method delivers actual advantages to students.Keywords:
