A Theory-Guided LLM Pedagogical Agent Supporting Open-Ended STEM+C Learning
Clayton Cohn, Surya Rayala, Siyuan Guo +13
Open-ended learning environments (OELEs) can support STEM+C (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computing) inquiry through activities such as computational modeling…
Evidence-Decision-Feedback: Theory-Driven Adaptive Scaffolding for LLM Agents
Clayton Cohn, Siyuan Guo, Surya Rayala +11
LLMs offer tremendous opportunities for pedagogical agents to help students construct knowledge and develop problem-solving skills, yet many of these agents operate on a "one-size-…
LearnLens: An AI-Enhanced Dashboard to Support Teachers in Open-Ended Classrooms
Namrata Srivastava, Shruti Jain, Clayton Cohn +3
Exploratory learning environments (ELEs), such as simulation-based platforms and open-ended science curricula, promote hands-on exploration and problem-solving but make it difficul…
Personalizing Student-Agent Interactions Using Log-Contextualized Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Clayton Cohn, Surya Rayala, Caitlin Snyder +10
Collaborative dialogue offers rich insights into students' learning and critical thinking, which is essential for personalizing pedagogical agent interactions in STEM+C settings. W…
