q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

Focus-group thematic analysis identified institutional requirements (e.g., a "very intense approval process"), privacy vetting, internet and device availability, school networks blocking access, limited class periods, and need for experimentation time as adoption constraints.

"Eight teachers emphasized that classroom adoption depended on factors beyond the chatbot's instructional value."
