Description¶

The article's implications section gives administrators and designers concrete moves to prevent the autonomy deficits that drove 87% disengagement in Cycle 1. It recommends "protecting creation time (e.g., dedicated weekly periods for agent iteration) and granting tool selection agency," plus "choice-based task portfolios, discipline-specific scaffolded templates, and low-barrier peer sharing spaces" to operationalize need-supportive PD concretely. These strategies directly target the autonomy, competence, and relatedness frustrations diagnosed through CHAT analysis.
