Pedagogical Friction in the Age of Generative AI
This hub organizes the public and committee-facing materials for Micah J. Miner's qualitative-dominant convergent mixed methods study grounded in constructivist qualitative inquiry. Choose your path below.
Proposal defense passed August 13, 2026. The chair-approved 05A–05C interview questions are synchronized to the role-specific review pages. The separate working 05F card sort is synchronized for 05A and 05C but still requires chair and IRB review. IRB approval and formal study activity remain pending.

What to expect
The interview pages display the current question and card-sort wording for committee and IRB review. They do not accept participant responses.
Current review-only state
- Response entry, browser recording, local saving, and file export are disabled.
- The pages do not send participant information to GitHub Pages or another service.
- The shared ten-card 05F sort appears only on the 05A and 05C review pages.
- The 05B school/system-leader page contains no card sort.
- Any later activation must match the written IRB-approved protocol and data-management process.
Protocol boundaries
- No recruitment or participant activity begins before written IRB approval and other applicable permissions.
- The card sort is a separate optional activity for eligible 05A and 05C participants.
- Participants may skip any interview question or stop participation under the approved consent process.
- There are no correct responses; the study is interested in lived experience and professional judgment.
