Abstract— In this research, the aim is to create a web application that helps teachers assess the progress of their students in learning
programming. The application combines data from students' interactions with programming puzzles in Python with answers from self-
assessment surveys. The study finds that the web application is a useful tool for evaluating students' learning in this subject. As more jobs
require programming skills and computer knowledge, there is an increasing need for students to learn to program. However, both teachers and
students may be new to programming, particularly at the university level. The inclusion of programming in compulsory school curricula also
presents challenges. This research aims to address these challenges by developing a web application that can assist teachers in evaluating their
students' learning progress.
