A study involving 78 ethnic minority preparatory students in China explored how pedagogical scaffolding can improve critical engagement with generative AI (GenAI). The research found that students initially used GenAI as a shortcut but, after a three-week course incorporating a human-in-the-loop workflow and teacher modeling, they shifted to using it as a partner for critical evaluation and co-construction. This intervention helped students overcome reliance on AI-generated content and significantly increased their prompt self-efficacy, suggesting that targeted pedagogical approaches are crucial for cultivating epistemic agency in GenAI use.
