- Abstract
This study addresses several challenges commonly encountered in programming education, including substantial differences in students’ prior knowledge, insufficient support for self-directed learning, and difficulties in implementing effective process-oriented assessment. Taking the Fundamentals of Programming course as a case study, the study explores the construction of a digital teaching model driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and self-directed learning. Relying on a SPOC-based online learning environment and a programming practice platform, learning process data and programming behavior data are collected to support the design of personalized learning pathways. During instructional implementation, a tiered, progressive competency-oriented structure and a blended learning approach are adopted to strengthen students’ practical programming skills. In addition, a learning data-driven formative assessment mechanism is introduced to enable continuous monitoring and feedback of teaching effectiveness. The results of teaching practice indicate that the proposed model contributes to improved student engagement, higher quality completion of programming tasks, and enhanced overall competency development, thereby providing a viable reference for the digital transformation of programming-related courses.
