A Framework for institutional change in the age of AI

David Perl-Nussbaum, Noah D. Finkelstein

Generative AI requires a new framework for institutional change in STEM education because it enters classrooms before evidence can accumulate.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Collectively, the six dimensions and design implications constitute a new framework for adapting change models to support institutions under conditions of genuine uncertainty.

C2weakest assumption

That the assumptions underlying prior interactive engagement reforms do not hold for generative AI, specifically that it is an arrival technology entering classrooms before a sufficient pedagogical evidence base could form.

C3one line summary

A six-dimension framework is proposed to adapt prior institutional change models in STEM education to the uncertainty and rapid arrival of generative AI.
