Subclaims¶

q2 i? Grounded-theory analysis of Study 3 revealed two themes: diverse teacher adaptations and high-integrity engagements with CoBi and its CA routines. → Breideband 2025 q2 i? Some adaptations diverged from design goals, including teachers steering discussion toward AI literacy instead of collaboration reflection. → Breideband 2025 (2)

Grounded-theory analysis of field notes from 20 days of instruction and around 200 minutes of CoBi-related video across three classrooms: "The analysis of student and teacher interactions with CoBi revealed two principal themes within the context of implementation integrity: diverse adaptations of and high-integrity engagements with CoBi and its associated CA routines."

In the same analysis, "two teachers steered discussions away from collaboration and meta-collaborative reflection by focusing heavily on AI literacy instead," so CoBi's visualizations served merely as a conversation starter about AI systems.
