q1 i? The authors argue that aspects of pedagogical use remain external to the technological artifact and are effectively delegated to the teacher at the moment of use, creating a misalignment between theoretically grounded design and practice. → Estefany Castillo Ventura 2026

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Authors' interpretive discussion (type e), not a tested result: they argue from the review's finding of absent L4 operationalization that pedagogical use is delegated to teachers, making the teacher the central agent in integrating digital resources.

"As a consequence, aspects related to the pedagogical use of digital resources remain external to the technological artifact and are effectively delegated to the teacher at the moment of use. This creates a misalignment between theoretically grounded design and the absence of explicit structures to support its implementation in practice."

• A structured review of digital mathematics education technologies found no studies in which learning theories are implemented as functional components of technological systems (L4) — related
• Only 4 of 23 reviewed conversational agent studies explicitly apply learning theories, indicating a gap between CA development and pedagogical grounding — related
• Teachers retain ultimate control over AI systems because professional responsibility cannot be delegated — related
• External conceptual resources support teachers' pedagogical judgment by affording richer representations and more productive problem frames — related
• A pedagogical gap separates 4E-informed learning science from the disembodied, individualised pedagogical assumptions encoded in current AI systems — a broader claim this one bears on
