Why It Matters
I need to look past the hype. My job is to diagnose the 'failure modes' of learning (e.g. atrophied critical thinking) when AI does the heavy lifting.
What To Learn
- Cognitive Offloading: Distinguishing 'scaffolding' (helpful support) from 'offloading' (bypassing the cognitive struggle needed for learning).
- The 'Illusion of Competence': Understanding why students feel they 'know' material they generated but didn't process.
- Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem vs. AI: Can AI actually deliver personalized tutoring, or just personalized answers?
