The Agency Gap in AI-Supported Writing: How Reactive and Proactive Agent Designs Shape Multimodal Reasoning
arXiv:2507.04398v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative AI is becoming part of academic writing, but its educational value depends on how control is shared between learner and system. This study examined an agency gap: performance differences that may arise when AI agent initiative is misaligned with learners' generative AI literacy. Seventy-nine medical and nursing students completed two multimodal analytical writing tasks using healthcare simulation data visualisations. They were
