q2 i? Through trio-ethnographic dialogue, two computing educators' interpretations of student AI use shifted from viewing nondisclosure as an emerging AI stigma to recognizing instructional ambiguity, then to emphasizing explicit guidance on productive AI use. → Jennie Ren 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative analysis of three recorded trio-ethnographic conversations (two educators, one undergraduate CS student) found this interpretive evolution; the article reports "an emergingAI stigma" reframed as shaped by instructional ambiguity, then explicit guidance. No effect sizes are reported.

"The educators' interpretations of students' AI use evolved from identifying an emergingAI stigma, to recognizing the importance of AI usage transparency, and ultimately to emphasizing explicit guidance for appropriate AI use."
