Pair the AI chat with a paper worksheet that records what the chat cannot: sketches, agreed group statements and a short reflection¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

A concrete implementable companion to AI-facilitated inquiry: alongside the chat, students fill in a paper worksheet meant to record “what the chat cannot” — their sketch, the group's agreed statements, and a short reflection. This makes the facilitator's boundary part of the design, keeping non-verbal and socially negotiated meaning on a human, embodied channel while the AI works on the verbal one.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• The boundary of the facilitator is planned from the start and made visible to the students themselves

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• university students working in small groups in laboratory sessions

Target Learning Goals¶

• expressing ideas in multiple representations beyond the verbal channel
• group negotiation of shared statements and metacognitive reflection

Related Strategies¶

• Require process transparency artefacts: process logs, prompt records, reflective commentaries and oral defences
