Abstract

This study explores the intricate dynamics of cognitive dissonance experienced during human-AI interactions within educational frameworks. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we assessed participants' psychological responses to AI-enhanced learning modules. The findings indicate significant variances in cognitive dissonance levels based on prior technological engagement and pedagogical environment. Our research elucidates the underlying psychological mechanisms and offers insights for optimizing AI integration in pedagogy.
