q2 · i? · design · r2
Qualitative deductive content analysis of feedback from five semi-structured interviews with eight domain experts who interacted with the text-based characters in CurreChat; the authors report the characters "were able to fulfill 9 out of the 12 desirable needs," with comments focused on AI-as-character and assisting-student-learning categories.
"In summary, the comments from domain experts indicated that the two pedagogical GAI characters, Tero and Madida, were able to fulfill 9 out of the 12 desirable needs."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Domain-expert feedback indicated the Tero character initially felt unrealistic and presented a narrow perspective of forest ownership — related
- Dataset 1 identified challenges in current teaching (resources, knowledge, digital tools) alongside opportunities for emerging technologies to clarify complex concepts and teach critical skills
