AI in Higher Education: Balancing Support, Ethics, and Agency

Sun, April 12, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Lobby Level, San Gabriel A

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session explores how generative AI shapes learners’ agency, ethics, and skill development across varied educational settings. The papers examine psychological mechanisms such as AI locus of control, longitudinal patterns in AI use and ethical perceptions, and instructional designs that support writing and self-regulated learning. The findings reveal critical tensions between dependence and empowerment, illustrating how intentional integration of AI can foster critical thinking, autonomy, and deeper learning outcomes. The session highlights emerging pedagogical strategies for positioning AI as a catalyst for growth rather than a substitute for human effort in technology-mediated learning.
