Developing a GPT Chatbot Model for Students Programming Education

While general-purpose language models, such as ChatGPT, have performed very well in various domains, the unique challenges posed by programming necessitate a specialized approach. This study focuses on the development of a specialized GPT model aimed at supporting students in their programming education. The model is designed to serve a triple purpose: assisting students in generating specific parts of their code and guiding them through the process of improving and debugging their own programs. Notably, the model incorporates a unique customization feature with moderation to ensure that the generated code does not closely mimic assignments designated by teachers. The article provides an in-depth exploration of the model’s construction, detailing its distinctive features intended to empower students while preserving the academic integrity of the learning experience. This innovative contribution holds significant potential in transforming programming education, offering targeted assistance that expands individual problem-solving skills and strikes a balance between automated support and educational objectives. The research underscores the importance of maintaining fairness and integrity in the learning process while leveraging advanced technology to enhance students’ programming capabilities.
