🤖 AI Summary
The widespread integration of generative artificial intelligence in education poses a potential threat to human agency, necessitating a systematic response. This study addresses this challenge through an interdisciplinary conceptual analysis, proposing a four-dimensional framework of human agency encompassing human oversight, human–AI complementarity, AI literacy, and relational emergence. The framework elucidates the critical tension between ethical considerations and operational efficacy in AI-enabled educational practices, particularly highlighting practical dilemmas related to normative constraints, transparency, and cognitive offloading. Designed to be technology-agnostic, this approach offers both a theoretical foundation and actionable guidance for the responsible and effective incorporation of generative AI in educational contexts.
📝 Abstract
Human agency is crucial in education and increasingly challenged by the use of generative AI. This meeting report synthesizes interdisciplinary insights and conceptualizes four aspects that delineate human agency: human oversight, AI-human complementarity, AI competencies, and relational emergence. We explore practical dilemmas for protecting and promoting agency, focusing on normative constraints, transparency, and cognitive offloading, and highlight key tensions and implications to inform ethical and effective AI integration in education.
