Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the application of Generative AI (AIGC) in education has gradually become a research focus. This study explores the potential of AIGC in programming instruction within high school information technology classes. Based on an in-depth analysis of AIGC’s advantages and potential limitations in education, we propose an innovative programming-teaching approach that integrates AIGC and pilot its use in real classroom practice. Data analysis indicates that the AIGC-integrated approach can, to some extent, enhance students’ classroom engagement. The findings offer new ideas and methods for high school information technology teaching and provide a reference for future innovation and development of programming-instruction models.
