Teacher-mentor-AI collaboration as a distributed expertise system in AI technology creation¶
Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited
Description¶
The article conceptualizes workshop interactions among teachers, mentors, and AI as "a dynamically coordinated system of distributed expertise, grounded in distributed cognition theory". Evidence-based knowledge from mentors, practice-based knowledge from teachers, and generative knowledge from AI are integrated and reconfigured through interaction. AI is treated not merely as a tool but as a mediational artifact that shapes teachers' thinking, as teachers externalize tacit knowledge through prompt writing, prototype demonstration, and output review.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Mentors providing cognitive, skill, and affective support (explanation, walkthroughs, questioning, strategic and emotional support)
Constraints¶
- Conceptualized from one small workshop context; mentor interactions dominated the coded activity
Target Learners¶
- K-12 teachers
- university faculty mentors
Learning Goals¶
- Collaborative AI-powered learning technology design
- Teacher professional learning
Claims¶
Related Designs¶
- AI-supported e-mentoring model integrating human mentoring with AI-driven support across engagement, analysis, feedback, and reflection cycles
- Site coordinator role combining field supervision, coaching, seminar teaching, mentor training, and governance facilitation
