Generative AI and the balance of effort in group tasks: Appropriate, over-, and under-scaffolding
Journal of Research on Technology in Education. 2026. P. 1–17.
Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) is increasingly used in higher education, yet its role in collaborative learning remains unclear. This study examines how students use Gen-AI during group lesson-planning tasks in an undergraduate education course. Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, we introduce the concept of “an effort space” and apply the categories of appropriate, over-, and under-scaffolding to Gen-AI use. The analysis of 75 students’ reflections, chat logs, and lesson plans identified three patterns: appropriate support that preserved learner effort, over-scaffolding through task outsourcing or free-riding that eliminates learner effort, and under-scaffolding through AI avoidance. These patterns show how Gen-AI reshapes collaborative learning.

The study focuses on the cognitive mechanisms associated with teachers’ work with new, conceptually complex material, both when they are experts in philological analysis and when they design the acquisition of subject matter. The scientific novelty of the article lies in its interdisciplinary approach, which allows for an explanation of the interaction between “threshold” subject ...

Currently, artificial intelligence occupies a solid place among traditional pedagogical technologies and approaches, which is the subject of widespread discussion among domestic and foreign scientists and researchers. This is because the introduction of AI into higher education, despite its high potential, faces a wide range of economic, social, and ethical obstacles. These include resistance to ...

Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as a substitute for field trials in itemdifficulty estimation, but evidence about where they succeed is usually drawn from a single test form. We compare LLM difficulty predictions across three task types that make different language demands, grammar cloze, semantic cloze and reading comprehension, on two operational Grade ...

Context. The preschool period is a critical stage for the development of prosocial behavior. Children begin to understand the feelings of others, and the foundations of empathy and mutual assistance are formed. Situation-specific expressions of care can develop into more stable forms when children are embedded in a system of social relationships. However, the specific characteristics ...

This paper presents STiMUS (Stigmergy and Mutualism in Socio-Technical Systems), an agent-based model implemented in NetLogo 7.0. The model formalises two complementary coordination mechanisms in digital project teams. The first is stigmergy: contributor agents select shared artefacts to work on by following traces left by previous editors, without explicit communication. The second is mutualism: artefacts ...

Rapid digitalization of higher education and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in instruction call for careful evaluation of their impact on students. Traditional face-to-face lectures and those given by an AI-avatar, remote online courses, each create distinct conditions that shape the classroom psychological climate and comfort. Prior research shows AI integration increases engagement, but ...
