Subclaims¶

q2 i1 The role-framing distribution differed significantly between individual and team contexts (Cramer's V = 0.253, small effect), with non-use rising from 12.9% to 33.7%. → Sehrish Basir Nizamani 2026

q2 · i1 · associational · r1

Survey-based comparison of role framing (Assistant, Peer, Expert, Did not use) aggregated across the three individual and three team assignments; the quote reports the printed effect size "V=0.253, small effect" and the framing percentages.

"Across team assignments, the proportion reporting non-use more than doubled to 33.7%, while Assistant framing fell to 38.0% and Peer framing fell to 26.5%. A chi-square test confirmed that this shift in role framing distribution was statistically significant (𝜒 2(3)= 35.57, 𝑝<.0001,𝑉=0.253, small effect)."

Related Claims¶

• Within-student transitions are asymmetric: 18.9% of consistent individual users stop using LLMs in teams while only 3.2% start, with framing shifts concentrated in movement to non-use — related
• Prompting technique distribution shifts in teams, driven by students reporting no technique at all — related
• Motivational orientation is strongly associated with the role students assign to GenAI: intrinsically motivated students most often position it as an instructor, extrinsically motivated students as a replacement tool — related
• Verification behaviors degrade most in team contexts, with test-based verification falling and never fully recovering — related
• Students predominantly conceptualize the LLM as an Assistant rather than Peer or Expert, and role distributions differ significantly across assignments — related
• LLM-based everyday learning is predominantly an individual activity, with 89% learning alone — related
