q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theme 2 of the article's thematic analysis, covering the evolution from single-agent to agentic multi-agent architectures. The review reports that recent systems demonstrate role specialization, task orchestration, memory, reasoning, and collaborative decision-making, but "many implementations remain at the prototype or conceptual stage".

"However, despite these advances, many implementations remain at the prototype or conceptual stage, with limited large -scale deployment and empirical validation in authentic educational contexts."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Current AI deployments in higher education remain task-oriented rather than ecosystem-oriented despite advances in LLMs and multimodal AI — related
• Phase VI AI-enabled systems face six documented challenges: explainability, hallucination risk, prompt sensitivity, computational cost, validation complexity, and limited large-scale evidence — a broader claim this one bears on
• Agentic AI invalidates the three assumptions (evaluation, reversibility, control) on which existing AI literacy frameworks rest — related
• Educational science faces a structural mismatch between the pace of educational innovation and the methods used to evaluate developmental impact — a broader claim this one bears on
• Inclusion of learners with special educational needs is typically implicit rather than explicitly designed even in advanced agentic AI systems — related
• Most published studies of AI agents in higher education concern task-specific tools or single-agent systems, with only about 8% covering agentic multi-agent systems — related
• Evidence for agentic AI in education is strongest for formative tutoring and SRL coaching, while orchestration and assessment applications remain at mid technology-readiness stages — related
• An agentic AI instructor sustained and deepened student engagement across successive course modules in a field deployment — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• LecturaAgents scores higher than Instructional Agents, GenMentor, and Learn Your Way on lecture content, personalization, and assessment quality — related
• Research on AI support for EL literacy remains limited, narrow in scope, and lacking for diverse EL subgroups — a broader claim this one bears on
• Most AI-for-sustainability initiatives in higher education remain limited in scope, exploratory, and not integrated into institutional strategies — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The deployment-literacy gap is structural: curriculum timelines of five to seven years cannot match agentic AI product cycles of months — related
• A three-week MALA deployment recorded 62 distinct usernames across 128 conversations, with 63% of conversations resolved or partially resolved — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• LEA's course-agnostic architecture was operationalised across three courses with no changes to the orchestrator, mastery tracker, or scaffolding engine — related
• In a graduate QIS course pilot, the specialized Spoke-and-Wheel architecture showed no task-boundary failures across 75 student interactions, though no controlled comparison against the prototype was run — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
