q2 i? The identified design requirements are interdependent: assertiveness depends on educational strategies, learning goals and progress, learning type, and course deadlines; friendliness depends on emotional-state information; conscientiousness depends on learning materials. → S. Vonschallen 2026

Discussion-section interpretation of the qualitative findings, visualized as arrows in Figure 2: for example, approaching deadlines from context-knowledge may trigger more directive behavior, and a friendly personality relies on emotional-state information for empathetic responses.

"The findings further reveal that effective tutoring behavior emerges from the dynamic interaction ofself-,user-, andcontext-knowledgerather than from isolated knowledge, as depicted by the arrows in Figure 2."
