The authors developed and implemented a week-long curricular intervention for high school sophomores using StoryQ—an Artificial Intelligence (AI) textual modeling platform designed for high school students without technical expertise—to examine hundreds of neighborhood descriptions produced for the Home Owners Loan Corporation's "residential security maps" in the late 1930s. In this article, we ask: What kinds of historical and present-day racial awareness do high school students demonstrate through instruction focused on AI-assisted analysis of patterns in redlining? Analyzing field notes, interviews, and student-generated digital work showed that many students were drawn to structural explanations of racism and worked to unpack the way primary sources presented Whiteness through "coded language." We argue that it is not only possible for teachers to construct historical inquiries that aim to identify patterns in a large set of primary sources with the aid of AI, but this approach to inquiry offers students an important avenue to engage with alternatives to individual conceptions of racial oppression.}, journal={THEORY AND RESEARCH IN SOCIAL EDUCATION}, author={Nocera, Amato and Newton, Victoria and Jiang, Shiyan}, year={2024}, month={Apr} } @article{tatar_jiang_rose_chao_2024, title={Exploring Teachers' Views and Confidence in the Integration of an Artificial Intelligence Curriculum into Their Classrooms: a Case Study of Curricular Co-Design Program}, ISSN={["1560-4306"]}, DOI={10.1007/s40593-024-00404-2}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION}, author={Tatar, Cansu and Jiang, Shiyan and Rose, Carolyn P. and Chao, Jie}, year={2024}, month={May} } @article{li_jiang_hu_feng_chen_ouyang_2024, title={Investigating the impact of structured knowledge feedback on collaborative academic writing}, ISSN={["1573-7608"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10639-024-12560-y}, journal={EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES}, author={Li, Xu and Jiang, Shiyan and Hu, Yue and Feng, Xiaoxiao and Chen, Wenzhi and Ouyang, Fan}, year={2024}, month={Mar} } @article{kahn_jiang_2024, title={Leveraging epistemic data agency with data visualizations to bridge the gap between data trends and personal experiences}, ISSN={["2398-5356"]}, DOI={10.1108/ILS-03-2023-0024}, abstractNote={Purpose While designing personally meaningful activities with data technologies can support the development of data literacies, this paper aims to focuses on the overlooked aspect of how learners navigate tensions between personal experiences and data trends. Design/methodology/approach The authors report on an analysis of three student cases from a design study in which middle and high school youth assembled family migration stories using data visualization technologies with socioeconomic and demographic data. The authors used interaction analysis to examine how students responded to misalignments they encountered between their families’ experiences and data trends in their models, drawing on the theoretical construct of epistemic data agency. Findings This case analysis demonstrates ways in which students enacted epistemic data agency. Instructional support can help students deepen inquiry and avoid certain pitfalls, such as encoding data in unsound or misleading ways to support a particular story, while encouraging students to see themselves as an epistemic authority on par with data. This study opens pathways for future research that considers how data can shape personal narratives and how students can leverage their experiences in the stories they tell with data. Originality/value The authors introduce the construct of epistemic data agency to describe the conceptual and material practices that reveal and shape students’ relationships to the data. The descriptions of students enacting epistemic data agency in assembling data stories informs the understanding of how to better elevate and recognize students’ efforts in relation to disciplinary norms and support deeper, meaningful student learning with and about data.}, journal={INFORMATION AND LEARNING SCIENCES}, author={Kahn, Jennifer and Jiang, Shiyan}, year={2024}, month={Sep} } @article{jiang_mcclure_tatar_bickel_rose_chao_2024, title={Towards inclusivity in AI: A comparative study of cognitive engagement between marginalized female students and peers}, volume={4}, ISSN={["1467-8535"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1111/bjet.13467}, DOI={10.1111/bjet.13467}, abstractNote={Abstract This study addresses the need for inclusive AI education by focusing on marginalized female students who historically lack access to learning opportunities in computing. It applies the theoretical framework of intersectionality to understand how gender, race and ethnicity intersect to shape these students' learning experiences and outcomes. Specifically, this study investigated 27 high‐school students' cognitive engagement in machine learning practices. We conducted the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test to explore differences in cognitive engagement between marginalized female students and their peers, employed comparative content analysis to delve into significant differences and analysed interview data thematically to gain deeper insights into students' machine learning model development processes. The findings indicated that, when engaging in machine learning practices requiring drawing diverse cultural perspectives, marginalized female students demonstrated significantly higher performance compared to their peers. In particular, marginalized female students exhibited strengths in holistic language analysis, paying attention to writers' intentions and recognizing cultural nuances in language. This study suggests that integrating language analysis and machine learning across subjects has the potential to empower marginalized female students and amplify their perspectives. Furthermore, it calls for a strengths‐based approach to reshape the narrative of underrepresentation and promote equitable participation in machine learning and AI. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic Female students, particularly those from underrepresented groups such as African American and Latina students, often experience low levels of cognitive engagement in computing. Marginalized female students possess unique strengths that, when nurtured, have the potential to not only transform their own learning experiences but also contribute to the advancement of the computing field. It is critical to empower marginalized female students in K‐12 AI (ie, a subfield of computing) education, seeking to bridge the gender and racial disparity in AI. What this paper adds Marginalized female students outperformed their peers in responding to machine learning questions related to feature analysis and feature distribution interpretation. When responding to these questions, they demonstrated a holistic approach to analysing language by considering interactions between features and writers' intentions. They drew on knowledge about how language was used to convey meaning in different cultural contexts. Implications for practice and/or policy Educators should design learning environments that encourage students to draw upon their cultural backgrounds, linguistic insights and diverse experiences to enhance their engagement and performance in AI‐related activities. Educators should strategically integrate language analysis and machine learning across different subjects to create interdisciplinary learning experiences that support students' exploration of the interplay among language, culture and AI. Educational institutions and policy initiatives should adopt a strengths‐based approach that focuses on empowering marginalized female students by acknowledging their inherent abilities and diverse backgrounds.}, journal={BRITISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY}, author={Jiang, Shiyan and Mcclure, Jeanne and Tatar, Cansu and Bickel, Franziska and Rose, Carolyn P. and Chao, Jie}, year={2024}, month={Apr} } @article{jiang_wang_2023, title={Blurring the boundaries of current and future selves: students' STEM identity exploration in a multimodal composing learning environment}, ISSN={["1743-9892"]}, DOI={10.1080/17439884.2023.2225858}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT As multimodal composition is gradually integrated into STEM learning, research is needed to examine how to fully connect multimodal composing practices and STEM practices to support students’ STEM identity exploration.

These efforts revealed a significant need to prepare youth to gain a fundamental understanding of how intelligence is created, applied, and its potential to perpetuate bias and unfairness. This study contributes to the growing interest in K‐12 AI education by examining student learning of modelling real‐world text data. Four students from an Advanced Placement computer science classroom at a public high school participated in this study. Our qualitative analysis reveals that the students developed nuanced and in‐depth understandings of how text classification models—a type of AI application—are trained. Specifically, we found that in modelling texts, students: (1) drew on their social experiences and cultural knowledge to create predictive features, (2) engineered predictive features to address model errors, (3) described model learning patterns from training data and (4) reasoned about noisy features when comparing models. This study contributes to an initial understanding of student learning of modelling unstructured data and offers implications for scaffolding in‐depth reasoning about model decision making.Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic Scholarly attention has turned to examining Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy in K‐12 to help students understand the working mechanism of AI technologies and critically evaluate automated decisions made by computer models. While efforts have been made to engage students in understanding AI through building machine learning models with data, few of them go in‐depth into teaching and learning of feature engineering, a critical concept in modelling data. There is a need for research to examine students' data modelling processes, particularly in the little‐researched realm of unstructured data. What this paper adds Results show that students developed nuanced understandings of models learning patterns in data for automated decision making. Results demonstrate that students drew on prior experience and knowledge in creating features from unstructured data in the learning task of building text classification models. Students needed support in performing feature engineering practices, reasoning about noisy features and exploring features in rich social contexts that the data set is situated in. Implications for practice and/or policy It is important for schools to provide hands‐on model building experiences for students to understand and evaluate automated decisions from AI technologies. Students should be empowered to draw on their cultural and social backgrounds as they create models and evaluate data sources. To extend this work, educators should consider opportunities to integrate AI learning in other disciplinary subjects (ie, outside of computer science classes). }, journal={BRITISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY}, author={Jiang, Shiyan and Nocera, Amato and Tatar, Cansu and Yoder, Michael Miller and Chao, Jie and Wiedemann, Kenia and Finzer, William and Rose, Carolyn P.}, year={2022}, month={Jul} } @article{jiang_lee_rosenberg_2022, title={Data science education across the disciplines: Underexamined opportunities for K-12 innovation}, ISSN={["1467-8535"]}, DOI={10.1111/bjet.13258}, journal={BRITISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY}, author={Jiang, Shiyan and Lee, Victor R. and Rosenberg, Joshua M.}, year={2022}, month={Jul} } @article{wang_rose_ma_jiang_bao_li_2022, title={Design and Application of Automatic Feedback Scaffolding in Forums to Promote Learning}, volume={15}, ISSN={["1939-1382"]}, DOI={10.1109/TLT.2022.3156914}, abstractNote={Forums are essential components facilitating interactions in online courses. However, in large-scale courses, many posts generated, which results in learners’ difficulties. First, the posts are poorly organized and some deviate from the topic, making it difficult for learners’ knowledge acquisition. Second, learners cannot receive timely feedback and guidance, making the learning progress unclear for them. Well-designed scaffoldings should be built based on challenges of forums to improve learners’ learning outcomes, knowledge construction, and completion rate. While targeting the problems in online forums, this article proposed principles for the design of online scaffolding after analyzing the requirements of online learning scaffolding or scripts. Subsequently, in this article, we designed an automatic feedback scaffolding based on the principles and a knowledge construction model. The scaffolding provided learners with timely feedback and related learning guidance. Tags were used to assist learners in acquiring relevant information more easily. The scaffolding was then integrated into the Learning Cell Knowledge Community and used in an online course for 955 learners. The results showed that automatic feedback scaffolding positively affected learners’ learning and promoted positive knowledge transformation. Furthermore, we found that the scaffolding could help learners induce more constructive behaviors defined in the Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive deep learning framework that demonstrated the reason for learners’ knowledge transformation. At last, learners’ course completion rate also increased with the help of the scaffolding, which provided evidence that well-designed scaffolding can result in positive educational outcomes.

Platooning has the potential to improve traffic efficiency and safety. However, there exists a perilous situation of “Neither overtake nor give up” when the single-vehicle overtakes a platoon on the TLTW road. This paper presents a flexible framework to automatically filter a large quantity of Advanced Driver Assistance Strategies (ADAS) and select the most suitable driver assistance information for the single-vehicle overtakes a platoon on the TLTW road. A step-by-step Single Vehicle Overtakes Platoon (SVOP) algorithm is designed to generate the coarse ADAS, which had given plenty of consideration to the vehicle safety, traffic efficiency, and driving comfort. Then, this paper obtains the raw data about the single-vehicle overtakes a platoon on the TLTW by using CARLA, which can help us to get 20 drivers’ upper and down boundaries of both velocity and acceleration. In addition, the extracted ranges of velocity and acceleration are used to quantitatively analyse the drivers’ driving features and filter the ADAS information. Finally, a Bayesian nonparametric approach is developed to segment driver’s driving raw data temporal sequences into small analytically interpretable components without using prior knowledge. So that the accurately overtaking characteristics can be obtained, and the ADAS can be further filtered. Experimental results demonstrate that the obtained coarse ADAS are only valid in theory but not acceptable by most of the drivers. Nonetheless, by leveraging the nonparametric Bayes algorithm, the driver’s overtaking behavior can be divided into different primitives, from which some could obtain the driver’s acceptance range for the velocity and acceleration. 92.3% ~ 94.78% invalid SVOP ADAS could be filtered out by leveraging the primitive-based SVOP approach. Thus, after filtering, the overtaking scheme is the most acceptable strategy for drivers.}, journal={IEEE ACCESS}, author={Chen, Junjie and Bhat, Manoj and Jiang, Shiyan and Zhao, Ding}, year={2020}, pages={77285–77297} } @article{jiang_huang_xie_sung_yalcinkaya_2020, title={Augmented Scientific Investigation: Support the Exploration of Invisible "Fine Details" in Science via Augmented Reality}, DOI={10.1145/3392063.3394406}, abstractNote={Augmented reality (AR) has great potential to radically change science education by making abstract science concepts visible and interactive.

The study shed light on how to connect and assess CT in everyday reasoning and programming contexts.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ON TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION}, author={Shen, Ji and Chen, Guanhua and Barth-Cohen, Lauren and Jiang, Shiyan and Eltoukhy, Moataz}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={205–225} } @article{jiang_kahn_2020, title={Data wrangling practices and collaborative interactions with aggregated data}, volume={15}, ISSN={["1556-1615"]}, DOI={10.1007/s11412-020-09327-1}, number={3}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-SUPPORTED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING}, author={Jiang, Shiyan and Kahn, Jennifer}, year={2020}, month={Sep}, pages={257–281} } @article{kahn_jiang_2021, title={Learning with large, complex data and visualizations: youth data wrangling in modeling family migration}, volume={46}, ISSN={["1743-9892"]}, DOI={10.1080/17439884.2020.1826962}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT We present a micro-analysis of youth interactions with large complex, socioeconomic datasets and data visualization tools. Middle and high school youth used georeferenced data and data visualization tools to assemble models that present their family migration histories in relation to larger socioeconomic trends in a summer program. Using screen-capture and video recordings, field notes, and artifacts, we analyzed youth’s step-by-step decision-making and interaction with data interfaces in data wrangling, which we define as the practices for selecting, interpreting, and integrating datasets in order to build meaningful data displays and tell a story with the data. We identify patterns in youth’s data wrangling trajectories and propose a conceptual model for describing the stages (Find, Relate, Challenge, Build) of youth learning to construct models and tell stories about family migration. In addition, we highlight student struggles and opportunities for learning to be explored in future learning environment designs with large, complex datasets and data interfaces.}, number={2}, journal={LEARNING MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Kahn, Jennifer and Jiang, Shiyan}, year={2021}, month={Apr}, pages={128–143} } @article{jiang_shen_smith_kibler_2020, title={Science identity development: how multimodal composition mediates student role-taking as scientist in a media-rich learning environment}, volume={68}, ISSN={["1556-6501"]}, DOI={10.1007/s11423-020-09816-y}, number={6}, journal={ETR&D-EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT}, author={Jiang, Shiyan and Shen, Ji and Smith, Blaine E. and Kibler, Kristin Watson}, year={2020}, month={Dec}, pages={3187–3212} }
