This work explores the potential of algorithm visualization tools in facilitating the teaching and learning of data structures within the programming education landscape. Traditional methods for teaching algorithms can be challenging due to their abstract nature. This research highlights the role of interactive visual representations as a dynamic approach to overcoming this hurdle through the development of a support tool. By integrating algorithm visualization tools into the curriculum, educators can create immersive learning experiences that go beyond traditional lectures and textbooks. These tools empower students to actively engage with the material, fostering deeper understanding and engagement through experimentation and manipulation of visualized algorithms and data structures. This research emphasizes the potential of algorithm visualization tools to not only improve student comprehension but also increase their motivation and interest in the learning process.
