MAI listens to students’ conversations during collaborative learning, identifies moments where they may need to pause and reflect, and gently prompts them to take charge of their own learning. By doing so, it encourages students to actively engage in self-regulated learning and develop stronger metacognitive skills.
Developing metacognitive skills in both students and teachers is essential for effective teaching, navigating AI-enhanced learning environments, and empowering students to take control of their own learning.
Collaborative learning helps students think, plan, and work together, but it’s not always easy. Students sometimes need help identifying their challenges and managing their own learning process. Meanwhile, teachers face the complex task of guiding several groups at once while handling the everyday dynamics of the classroom.
Supporting self-regulated learning (SRL) and socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) during collaborative learning sessions can be difficult, as students may struggle to recognize challenges, coordinate effectively, and regulate their own learning without guidance.
