A Look Beyond the Code: Students' Perspectives on the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Transforming Python Programming Learning
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The study delves into integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) through ChatGPT into computer programming courses, considering the impacts on student learning experiences, specifically in Python programming. It emphasizes the benefits of using ChatGPT in enhancing student engagement, motivation, and understanding of programming activities. The research adopted quantitative and qualitative approaches, focusing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to gauge students' perceptions. The findings showcased favorable outcomes from students' use of ChatGPT, highlighting improved interest, diversity, motivation, and understanding in programming exercises. While the study revealed significant positive outcomes, it also acknowledged challenges such as potential overreliance on AI tools hindering critical thinking skills. The implications underscore the importance of balancing the benefits and challenges of ChatGPT integration, promoting personalized learning experiences, continuous training for instructors, and fostering ethical considerations in AI-ChatGPT utilization. This abstract encapsulates the study's emphasis on maximizing AI's benefits while addressing challenges to optimize educational outcomes in computer programming courses.
