The AI coding tutor paradox grows as educators scramble to rethink how they test real skills

A global survey of 763 educators in 49 countries says most are already changing programming teaching and testing for the AI era.

Schools are placing more weight on code comprehension, oral exams, debugging, and project-based assessment.

Educators are also worried about student dependence on AI tools, cheating, and a lack of proven best-practice examples.

The findings suggest generative AI is reshaping computer science education, academic integrity, and job-ready skill evaluation.
