Research paper advocates for youth involvement in validating LLM-based student talk measures

A new research paper argues that current methods for validating Large Language Model (LLM) based measures of student discourse are insufficient, particularly for marginalized youth. The paper, titled "When Youth Enter The Chat: An Epistemic Shift in the Validation of LLM-Based Measures of Student Talk," proposes that involving students directly in the research process is crucial for re-contextualizing classroom conversations and ensuring equitable analysis. A case study in an 8th-grade math classroom revealed misalignments between students' interpretations of their talk and LLM classifications, highlighting the need for youth to be recognized as epistemic authorities.

    When Youth Enter The Chat: An Epistemic Shift in the Validation of LLM-Based Measures of Student Talk

    arXiv:2608.23780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are being used increasingly to measure aspects of student discourse (e.g. talk moves, collaboration, equity of voice) at scale. Typically, LLM-based measures of student talk use transcriptions of classroom conversations that …
