q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

The review reports Saravanan et al.'s qualitative study of three focus groups with 16 engineering faculty at a single U.S. research-intensive university; participants described "a posture of reluctant engagement with GenAI" and anticipated curricular redesign.

"Participants described a posture of reluctant engagement with GenAI, concerns about cognitive offloading and loss of productive struggle, disruption to established feedback and assessment practices, and frustration with gaps in coordinated institutional policy."
