Claims

C1strongest claim

We propose Agentivism, a learning theory for human-AI interaction. Agentivism defines learning as durable growth in human capability through selective delegation to AI, epistemic monitoring and verification of AI contributions, reconstructive internalization of AI-assisted outputs, and transfer under reduced support.

C2weakest assumption

That existing learning theories (Behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism) remain important but do not directly explain when AI-assisted performance becomes durable human capability.

C3one line summary

Agentivism defines learning as durable growth in human capability through selective AI delegation, epistemic monitoring and verification, reconstructive internalization of AI outputs, and transfer under reduced support.
