Generative AI Can Harm Teaching

r/Professors

we have a lot of work showing the harms of AI on learning, from math skills to writing. This interesting working paper looking at how AI can harm learning when used in teaching. Seems that including AI as part of a course can really make students lose interest in learning…

Recorded Notes in the Age of AI Deepfakes

r/Professors

Hello my fellow professors and happy semesters to all! So I don't allow class recordings, mainly for privacy reasons but also since no one was watching them anyway. This hasn't been an issue until now. I've gotten a student accommodation allowing them to record class, especially lectures. In the past, I wouldn't have…

Authority Bias in Conversational Search Engines for Academic Paper Recommendation

arXiv — Computers & Society + AI

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as conversational search engines for academic literature, yet whether they judge papers on content or on authority signals has not been tested causally. We investigate authority bias: systematic preference for papers based on author prestige, venue, and citations…

Beyond Problem Solving: Large Language Models for Emotional and Reflective Support in Mathematics Learning

arXiv — Human-Computer Interaction

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) traditionally focus their adaptive support on cognitive aspects of learning. Although effective, little is known about how such systems can be enhanced by addressing students' emotional states. In particular, the role of mindful interventions for supporting student learning and…

Rethinking On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models II: One Training Example

arXiv — Computers & Society + AI

On-policy distillation (OPD) combines student-generated rollouts with dense token-level supervision from a teacher. Existing work has mainly studied its algorithmic behavior, leaving the role of training data unclear. We examine this role at the data-minimal limit by training on a single query. One-shot OPD keeps…

Structure and Implementation of New Practical English Textbooks Driven by Artificial Intelligence

arXiv — Computers & Society + AI

Artificial intelligence is changing the form of applied English materials from fixed paper sequences to adaptive learning systems that can diagnose learners, recommend tasks, and provide formative feedback. This paper studies the structure and application of a new practical English textbook driven by artificial…

Machine Learning in Birth Weight Prediction: A Systematic Review of Low and High Birth Weight Predictive Models

EdArXiv (education preprints)

This systematic review evaluates the reported predictive performance of machine learning (ML) models that use low birth weight (LBW) or high birth weight (HBW, including macrosomia and large-for-gestational-age) as the directly predicted outcome. A systematic search was conducted across five databases (PubMed, Web of…

Reclaiming Epistemic Agency: A Critical Framework for Human-Generative AI Co-Agency in Education

arXiv — Computers & Society + AI

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has been primarily framed as an impartial educational tool. However, this framing overlooks an even larger shift: the reassignment of epistemological authority from teachers to students to machines. This paper presents a conceptual evaluation of the extent to which GenAI…
