INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTO THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE «FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAMMING IN C LANGUAGE»

Abstract

The article explores the possibilities of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the educational process for the course «Fundamentals of Programming in C». The aim of the study is to examine ways of integrating AI into education to improve the effectiveness of learning programming in C. Given the key role of the C language in IT education, mastering it is an essential step for students who aspire to develop programming skills and work with modern languages such as C++, Java, or Python. Additionally, knowledge of C is crucial for professional activities in fields related to operating system development, drivers, and embedded systems. The research methodology is based on the analysis of modern scientific sources that discuss the application of AI in education. The primary focus is on algorithms for automating code verification, methods for analyzing algorithm efficiency, and personalized approaches to student learning. The article examines AI integration mechanisms in education, including automatic error detection and analysis in code, algorithm optimization, test task generation, and code augmentation. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its practical approach to integrating AI into C language education. The use of intelligent systems enables the adaptation of the educational process to the students' level of preparation, fostering a deeper understanding of programming principles and enhancing their competence in working with algorithms and data structures. Special emphasis is placed on student interaction with AI, where algorithms analyze errors, suggest corrections, and provide instant feedback, strengthening the learning effect. Another important aspect of the study is the evaluation of the effectiveness of an interactive learning approach, implemented through adaptive algorithms and automated learning platforms. The article’s conclusions highlight the promising prospects of AI usage in education. The key benefits of implementing such technologies include adaptive learning, quick access to feedback, the ability to create variable tasks, and the development of students' practical skills. AI integration into C language education not only enhances material comprehension efficiency but also makes the learning process more interactive and engaging for students.
