Abstract
The rise of AI tools is reshaping computer science education, shifting the focus from coding skills to teaching students how to effectively use these technologies. Understanding students' mental models and fostering computational and metacognitive skills are now essential, as over-reliance on AI can weaken critical thinking. This panel explores how a human-centered approach can balance these challenges, sharing strategies to optimize learning while addressing the risks of cognitive offloading in an AI-driven world.
