Adapting for AI: How elementary teachers adjust their practices for an AI-integrated curriculum

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The article examines how three elementary teachers implemented a conversational AI‑based curriculum using the ToyTalk platform during a three‑week summer camp. Over 13 instructional days, teachers employed adaptive practices—repair, differentiation, translation, and balancing—to navigate tensions among technology, learners, and instruction. Their understanding of AI and instructional roles evolved throughout the camp, leading to design implications for deploying conversational AI in elementary classrooms.

How Children Design and Reason about Trustworthy AI Chatbots

The study explores how children design AI chatbots and what they consider trustworthy. Using a custom chatbot-building environment, 115 learners aged 8‑18 created 119 chatbots and adjusted traits such as confidence, transparency, and formality. Findings show younger children equate trust with purpose‑fulfillment, while older children focus on transparent, calibrated design, and that students calibrate academic chatbots to be more formal and transparent than hobby ones.
