Human Cognitive Agency in AI-Mediated Learning

As AI-powered tools integrate with educational settings, they offer personalized support, adaptive feedback, and enhanced access to information. These technologies also raise important questions about learner autonomy, critical thinking, and the extent to which AI influences cognitive processes and decision-making. It is essential to examine how individuals maintain control over their learning experiences, balance reliance on AI assistance with independent reasoning, and develop the skills necessary to engage effectively and ethically with intelligent systems. Investigating the interaction between human cognition and AI-driven educational tools may further reveal how technology can support meaningful learning while preserving and strengthening human agency. Human Cognitive Agency in AI-Mediated Learning explores how learners interact with AI while maintaining control over their thinking, decision-making, and learning processes. It examines the impact of AI-powered educational tools on cognitive development, self-regulation, critical thinking, and learner autonomy, as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with AI-supported learning environments. This book covers topics such as rhetorical agency, student engagement, and critical thinking, and is a useful resource for engineers, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
