Subclaims¶

q2 i? Profiles in which mastery-oriented aims co-occur with epistemic justification (and explanation seeking) account for only 11.1% of observed interactions. → Menggian Wu 2026 q2 i? Mastery-oriented aims correlate positively with epistemic justification, and outsourcing correlates negatively with explanation seeking, in the phi correlation matrix. → Menggian Wu 2026 (2)

Evidence¶

Menggian Wu. (2026). Constructing Epistemic AI Literacy: Detecting Epistemic Aims and Processes in Student-AI Co-Programming. 2nd International Workshop on AI Literacy Education For All (ALIT4ALL 2026), co-located with AIED 2026, Seoul, Republic of Korea. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.00211 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.00211

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Profile analysis of student-GPT conversations (Figures 3b and 4) identifies the sixth and seventh most frequent profiles combining Inquiry relevance, Mastery Aims, Epistemic Justification, and/or Explanation Seeking; the authors associate these with 'more reliable epistemic processes' and genuine learning.

"Although these profiles account for only 11.1% of observed interactions, they suggest that when learners explicitly adopt mastery-oriented aims, they are more likely to engage in more reliable epistemic processes"

Menggian Wu 2026 (2)¶

q2 · i? · associational · r1

The phi correlation matrix among the seven binary labels (Figure 3a) shows generally weak-to-moderate associations, with the printed highlight being the positive mastery-justification link and negative outsourcing-explanation-seeking link; no coefficients beyond matrix values are reported in text.

"a strong positive correlation between mastery-oriented aims and epistemic justification and a notable negative correlation between outsourcing and explanation seeking"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
