arXiv:2606. 08676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding assistants have significantly improved developer productivity by automatically suggesting code that aligns with user intent, and many of these tools are now integrated directly into Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).
The study examined how different designs of AI teaching assistants (AI TAs) affect students in an introductory programming course. Four AI TAs were compared based on pedagogical style (Socratic vs. Direct instruction) and context awareness (no context vs. full context). Results showed that the Socratic AI TA with full context received the lowest favorability ratings, had the highest interaction stress, the most external LLM use, and the lowest comprehension outcomes, though differences were not statistically significant.
arXiv:2607. 10674v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI code tools become integrated into programming environments, students increasingly describe intended behavior in natural language and rely on these tools to generate code, shifting emphasis from code writing to specification.
The study investigates how users interact with ChatGPT for code generation beyond simple function-level tasks, focusing on project-level benchmarks that involve multi-class dependencies. A user study with 36 participants examined prompting patterns, screen recordings, and chat logs to identify Human‑LLM Interaction (HLI) features that influence productivity. The results highlight three consistently supportive HLI features, five guidelines to boost productivity, and a taxonomy of 29 runtime and logic errors with mitigation strategies.
