Fostering Culturally-Responsive Calculus Instruction
Abstract
This paper explores the implementation of culturally-responsive calculus tasks facilitated by AI agents in a cross-cultural collaborative learning environment over a period of three weeks. Engaging student pairs from China and the United States in weekly 90-minute sessions via ZOOM, our study employed a qualitative research methodology, focusing on dialogue analysis and student interaction with the AI agent. This approach provided insights into how the AI agent influenced students’ understanding of calculus concepts through historical and cultural lenses. Our findings reveal that the AI agent not only enhanced conceptual understanding but also effectively bridged linguistic and cultural divides, enriching the global learning experience.
