Project Description<\/h2>\n\n

The Collaborative Argumentation with AI Agents (CA-AI) project investigates how humans and AI agents interact and co-construct knowledge during collaborative scientific argumentation. Rather than treating AI as a tool that simply provides answers, feedback, or assistance, the project examines AI as an active participant in collaborative reasoning—one that can respond to learners’ ideas, introduce alternative perspectives, and shape how claims, evidence, and explanations develop through interaction.<\/p>\n\n

The project examines the interaction patterns and learning mechanisms that emerge as students and AI agents respond to one another, coordinate reasoning, negotiate claims and evidence, and build scientific knowledge together. By connecting science education, biology, learning sciences, and artificial intelligence, CA-AI seeks to understand when and how human–AI collaboration can strengthen science learning while supporting students’ intellectual autonomy and appropriate trust in AI.<\/p>\n\n
