The Promise and Perils of GenAI for Understanding Teaching, Learning, and Equity in Motivation Research

Fri, April 12, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 1

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Love it or leave it, Generative AI is here to stay and will likely have a transformative impact on how we do education in the U.S. and beyond. This invited symposium features several rising scholars’ work that illustrates GenAI’s impact on teaching, learning, motivation, and equity in the twenty-first century. To begin, Dr. Stephen Aguilar (Univ. of So California) will provide a lay of the land on generative AI: What is it? Where is it heading? How can we embrace it through an equitable lens? How does it influence motivation processes? and what is the potential for promise and peril in teachers’ and students’ relationship with it? Next, through the series of talks, we will see how motivation scholars understand GenAI’s impact on mathematical problem posing, students’ self-beliefs, motivationally supportive teaching practices, and engineering education. To conclude, Dr. Aguilar will discuss the contributions of each paper and how they advance our perspectives on teaching, learning, motivation, and equity.
