Abstract

This paper puts forth a novel research agenda called Augmented Debate-Centered Instruction (ADCI) to address a concerning gap in understanding the responsible integration of AI in education. As assessments grounded in individual writing become unreliable with the proliferation of language models, most attention has focused on detecting AI cheating rather than exploring pedagogical adaptations. This oversight leaves open critical questions about how generative AI might be leveraged to augment instructional practices and provide alternative modes of assessment, especially for developing essential cognitive abilities and durable skills.
