Papers examine argumentation, discourse, and agency across settings, from learner feedback agency and laypeople's evaluation of online health information to thinking routines in EFL film discussions. Additional talks address facilitation dilemmas in teacher video clubs and learner engagement in LLM-supported complex-systems simulations.
Papers on data literacy and data science education range from students creating biometric data visualizations to confronting coloniality and Indigenous food sovereignty in data science. Threads include youth conceptions of data, a roleplay-based curriculum embedding epistemological pluralism, and epistemic practices in an online fitness community.
Papers examine perceptions of innovation and change, with several analyzing teacher and STEM-educator sentiments about generative AI through social media discourse on X and Reddit. Other talks cover participatory design for AI in teacher education, reconceptualizing conversational AI as a learning medium, and NGSS implementation.
Short papers address AI literacy, AI tools, and teacher learning, tracing teachers' evolving participation in AI education and critical AI literacy developed through design problem solving. Threads include posthuman creativity with GenAI in an Indian design workshop, redistributing cognition in AI-supported writing, and instructor scaffolding of student GenAI use.
Short papers bring critical perspectives to learning environments, covering AI-supported personality alignment among pre-service teachers, teachers designing AI-ethics scenarios with LLM tools, and whether critical pedagogy survives algorithmic social-media constraints. Other talks explore service-learning tutoring and equity, and game-based learning in literature classrooms.
Six short papers on designing AI tools and understanding human-AI interaction in learning. Topics include AI's effect on the writing process, hybrid-intelligence and human-in-the-loop systems, four years of AI formative assessment and fairness, conversation-based assessment with AI agents, and new interfaces for AI-supported writing.
