Abstract
Abstract Despite the increasing emphasis on computational literacy in higher education, we observed that many undergraduate students particularly in developing contexts struggle to master fundamental programming skills and develop critical thinking. Conventional instructional approaches often lack interactivity and personalized scaffolding, which are essential for teaching abstract programming concepts. In response to this challenge, we examined the effect of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ programming skills, critical thinking, and problem-solvi
