​Evaluating AI-Era Learning

​
Educational evaluation is entering a new phase.
​
Haynie Research & Evaluation is developing methodological approaches to study learning, teaching, and participation in AI-augmented contexts.
​

​Current work includes conceptual frameworks, pilot measures, and collaborative research discussions with project teams.

​AI Systems now participate in

  • reasoning
  • writing
  • problem solving
  • instructional decision-making
Traditional evaluation methods were designed to measure learning without cognitive partners.

New questions emerge

  • When does AI support thinking vs replace it?
  • What evidence demonstrates durable understanding?
  • How should we interpret performance when assistance is always available?
  • What outcomes matter in AI-mediated environments?
