Patterns of Inquiry, Scaffolding, and Interaction Profiles in Learner-AI Collaborative Math Problem-Solving

Zilong Pan, Shen Ba, Zilu Jiang, Chenglu Li


Abstract
This study investigates inquiry and scaffolding patterns between students and MathPal, a math AI agent, during problem-solving tasks. Using qualitative coding, lag sequential analysis, and Epistemic Network Analysis, the study identifies distinct interaction profiles, revealing how personalized AI feedback shapes student learning behaviors and inquiry dynamics in mathematics problem-solving activities.
