Subclaims¶

q1 i? The paper argues that responsible AI use and student agency are mutually reinforcing, so that learners engage with technology intentionally rather than passively depending on it. → Wood 2026

Evidence¶

Wood 2026¶

Wood, D., & Moss, S. (2026). Cultivating Agency and Responsible AI Use Through the AI-ARC Framework. Journal of Instructional Design and Technology, 1(1), 8–17. https://doi.org/10.65201/CJHS2205

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the paper's central conceptual thesis, argued from literature on AI ethics, metacognition, and epistemic agency rather than tested with data. The authors state that responsible use "is not merely rule-following but a reflective practice" requiring students to regulate how AI contributes to their thinking.

"This paper argues that responsible AI use and student agency are mutually reinforcing capacities that enable learners to engage with technology intentionally rather than passively depend on it."
