Abstract

Programming logic teaching faces challenges such as dropout and lack of personalization, directly impacting student learning. Artificial intelligence-based technologies have shown potential to offer interactive and adaptive support, making teaching more accessible and effective. Given this context, this work proposes the design of a tool based on generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support programming logic teaching. The proposal seeks to integrate usability and human-computer interaction to promote more personalized and collaborative learning. In addition, it considers the inclusion of sustainable cultural and practical knowledge in the educational process. The study also evaluates the limitations of current tools and proposes methods to measure pedagogical impact and user experience.
