Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? As tensions and contradictions emerge across ecological levels, agency is continuously negotiated across those layers, with individuals acting within dynamics of resistance, influence, and structural inequality. → Juliana Elisa Raffaghelli 2026

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
Synthesis of the seven-country comparative mapping in the Application and Results section. The article adds that individuals 'should not be seen as passive recipients of external forces, but as actors operating within dynamics of resistance, influence, and structural inequality'.
"The ecological model therefore shows that, as tensions and contradictions emerge across levels, agency is continuously negotiated across ecological layers."

- Students' GenAI use is ethically negotiated, with decisions emerging from intersecting personal integrity, institutional rules, fear of punishment and practical constraints — related
- Neither ecological theory nor CHAT alone fully captures ethical AI use in education — related
- One student's resistance to GenAI was entangled with neurodiversity, a biological conception of authentic effortful learning, and anxieties about rapid technological change — related
- Students exercise ethical agency in GenAI use through human-AI collaboration strategies, personal ethical frameworks, strategic calibration of use, and resistance to over-reliance — related
- AI-augmented instructional design creates tensions between generative affordances and student agency, identity, and academic integrity — related
