Design and Implementation of an Algorithm Visualization Tool for Computer Science Education

Computer Science — 2024, Undergraduate

This study designed and implemented an Algorithm Visualization Tool to support the teaching and learning of algorithms among Computer Science students. The tool animates sorting and searching algorithms step-by-step, allowing students to observe the internal behaviour of algorithms in real time. The study adopted an agile development approach and a mixed-methods evaluation involving students and lecturers. The system was built with JavaScript for the front-end visualisation and Python Flask for the back-end. Findings revealed that the tool improved students' comprehension of abstract algorithmic concepts and increased engagement during practical sessions. The study recommends integration of the tool into the computer science curriculum and extension to a broader range of algorithms.
