How Motivation Relates to Generative AI Use: A Large-Scale Survey of Mexican High School Students

A large-scale study of 6,793 Mexican high school students reveals that individual motivational profiles significantly influence how students utilize generative AI in math and writing, suggesting that AI integration in education must be personalized rather than universal.

Title:How Motivation Relates to Generative AI Use: A Large-Scale Survey of Mexican High School Students

View PDFAbstract:This study examined how high school students with different motivational profiles use generative AI tools in math and writing. Through K-means clustering analysis of survey data from 6,793 Mexican high school students, we identified three distinct motivational profiles based on self-concept and perceived subject value. Results revealed distinct domain-specific AI usage patterns across students with different motivational profiles. Our findings challenge one-size-fits-all AI integration approaches and advocate for motivationally-informed educational interventions.

Visual Graph Scaffolds for Structural Reasoning in Large Language Models

A new study reveals that visual graphs can serve as internal scaffolds to organize reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs), rather than just acting as external knowledge sources. This visual guidance significantly outperforms flattened text representations in complex multi-hop reasoning tasks.

Handoff Debt: The Rediscovery Cost When Coding Agents Take Over Interrupted Tasks

This paper introduces 'handoff debt', the cost of rediscovery when a successor coding agent resumes an interrupted task. It demonstrates that providing rich context during handoffs significantly improves efficiency, reducing prompt tokens by up to 63%.
