Understanding Critical Thinking in Generative Artificial Intelligence Use: Development, Validation, and Correlates of the Critical Thinking in AI Use Scale

arXiv:2512. 12413v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative AI tools are increasingly embedded in everyday work and learning, yet their fluency, opacity, and propensity to hallucinate mean that users must critically evaluate AI outputs rather than accept them at face value.

Addressing Trust in AI Systems through Education: A Didactic Perspective

The paper introduces ICE-T, a didactic framework designed to improve trust in AI systems through education. It combines intermodal transfer, computational thinking, and explanatory thinking to address the opacity of machine learning tools. By linking these facets to research on algorithm aversion and AI literacy, the authors argue that trust calibration should be an explicit educational goal.

IntElicit: Eliciting and Assessing Contextualized Creativity via Dialogue Policy Optimization

arXiv:2606. 12086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contextualized assessment offers high ecological validity for evaluating creativity but introduces a critical challenge: observed performance may be confounded with cognitive proficiency (domain knowledge) and agency (willingness to engage).

The Uneven Impact of Generative AI on Student Learning: Examining the Roles of Reliance, Evaluation Literacy, and Course Policy in AI-related Courses

The study investigates how generative AI (GenAI) affects student learning in AI-related courses, using survey data from 118 students across 12 courses. Four distinct user clusters were identified—high-use, light-use, and two moderate-use groups—each showing varying benefits and reliance patterns. The research highlights that early reliance, evaluation literacy, and instructor policies significantly influence perceived academic benefits and negative impacts, underscoring the need for institutional policies to address inequities in AI use.

Addressing Trust in AI Systems through Education: A Didactic Perspective

The paper identifies two main challenges in machine learning education: opaque tools that give learners only a superficial grasp of ML and hinder the development of calibrated trust in AI systems. It introduces ICE‑T, a didactic framework that combines intermodal transfer, computational thinking, and explanatory thinking to provide representational richness, graduated process control, and error contextualization. By linking these facets to trust‑calibration literature, the authors argue that trust should be an explicit educational goal and that ICE‑T offers a scalable method to achieve it.

Measuring How Students Rely on Generative AI in Academic Writing: Development and Multi-Source Validation of the Generative AI Reliance Types Scale (GenAI-RTS)

arXiv:2607. 14301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As generative AI (GenAI) becomes increasingly embedded in undergraduate academic writing, how students rely on these tools, rather than simply whether they use them, has become a central question for learning, academic integrity, and educational equity.

When the Target Domain Changes: AI-Mediated Construct Drift in High-Stakes English Language AssessmenW

High-stakes English proficiency tests treat standardized, unaided performance as evidence for score interpretations about academic English proficiency. This interpretation remains meaningful, but as target language use domains increasingly involve generative AI, the extrapolation from unaided test performance to academic communicative readiness becomes less self-evident.

Vibe Compiler: A Research-Logic Synthesis Tool That Runs without Prompt Engineering -Toward Enhancing Metacognition for Sustaining Agency in the Age of Generative AI-

arXiv:2608. 05545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI used as a capable servant has greatly accelerated intellectual work, but it also risks eroding human epistemic agency by encouraging uncritical acceptance of AI-generated reasoning.
