| dc.description.abstract | Traditional programming education often employs uniform instructional methods,
neglecting diverse learner needs in terms of prior knowledge, learning styles, and
pacing. These limitations lead to disengagement and inconsistent outcomes. To
address this, the study introduces an AI-enabled Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS)
designed to deliver personalized programming instruction. This ITS employs machine
learning, collaborative filtering, and deep learning to dynamically adapt content,
including tailored exercises and real-time feedback based on learners’ progress and
performance. A distinctive feature of the proposed ITS is its immediate feedback
mechanism, enabling students to identify and correct mistakes, fostering deeper
understanding and mastery of concepts. Personalized exercises are generated to
address specific learning gaps, strengthening problem-solving skills while keeping
learners engaged. Additionally, the system supports peer collaboration, connecting
students with similar proficiency levels to enhance learning through teamwork. The
dataset comprises diverse programming students across academic institutions and
online platforms. Collaborative filtering techniques recommend relevant exercises, while
deep learning models extract patterns from learner interactions to refine personalization
further. Experimental results demonstrate that students using the ITS perform 25%
better in problem-solving and retain 40% more knowledge compared to traditional
methods. This ITS bridges gaps in traditional systems by offering scalability across
varied programming environments and providing adaptive learning paths supported
by real-time analytics. Its innovative approach ensures greater learner independence,
engagement, and skill acquisition, positioning it as a transformative tool in programming
education. Future research should focus on optimizing computational efficiency for
real-time scalability and exploring cross-domain applications. This study underscores
the potential of AI-driven ITS to revolutionize programming education, paving the way
for personalized learning and enhanced educational outcomes in a technology-driven
world. | en_US |
