Reducing Students' Cognitive Load in Programming Education by Creating an Intelligent Diagnostic Environment

When learning programming, students experience cognitive overload resulting from the simultaneous strain of mastering syntax and algorithmic logic. Since programming education relies heavily on developing students' logical, algorithmic, and problem-solving capacities, an individualized approach is essential to unlock these capabilities. This necessitates adaptive test tasks and an intelligent diagnostic environment. By reducing students' cognitive load within an intelligent environment, a foundation is established for the effective mastery of the programming discipline.
