q2 i? After the intervention, students reported establishing norms to cross-check AI hallucinations and to engage in iterative negotiation with the tool instead of accepting the first response. → Deliang Wang and Cunling Bian 2026

Deliang Wang and Cunling Bian. (2026). Scaffolding Critical Engagement with GenAI: Transforming Ethnic Minority Preparatory Students’ Collaborative Discourse in Prompt Engineering Tasks. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.28630 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.28630

q2 · i? · design · r2

Thematic analysis of reflective essays found students experienced the scaffolding not merely as technical training but as a challenge to blind trust in algorithmic outputs; many reported a shift toward seeing themselves as active evaluators or gatekeepers of AI-generated content rather than passive recipients.

"the teacher intervention—particularly the modeling with contrasting cases—functioned as an important turning point that reconfigured their collaborative norms with GenAI."

Discussion¶

The evidence is students' own account in reflective essays from one design study, analysed thematically; it records how students described the teacher's modelling with contrasting cases, not a measured change in how they checked AI output against a comparison group.

• Erroneous examples improve conceptual understanding by forcing comparison with correct models. — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• AI hallucination can be turned into a pedagogical resource by making verification and collaborative fact evaluation integral to AI-supported learning — a broader claim this one bears on
• Students perceive LLM chatbots as useful for learning but requiring critical use, reporting hallucinations, overconfidence, and dependency risks — related
• Students' top two concerns about educational LLM use are output quality (fabricated or misleading content, 53 mentions) and the verification burden (34 mentions) — related
• In unguided GenAI collaboration, ethnic minority preparatory students’ strategy talk co-occurred with passive sharing and uncritical acceptance, forming a plan-and-paste loop — related

• Teachers observe AI tools foster students' scientific identity and agency, shifting them from knowledge learners toward scientific practitioners — related
• LLM output can be misleading or erroneous because a stochastic element in text generation sometimes selects less likely continuations, so it requires continuous supervision and critical evaluation by domain experts. — related
• Individual acceptance of group constructions depends on reflection and reconciliation processes triggered by differing opinions, sometimes occurring after the group session — related
