Insights from Social Shaping Theory: The Appropriation of Large Language Models in an Undergraduate Programming Course
ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research
Students often internalize technological determinism narratives when deciding whether to adopt LLMs into their learning processes, however, after becoming self-aware about negative impacts on their learning, they often changed their behavior.
Aadarsh Padiyath, Kyle Ashburn, Barbara Ericson (2024)
Undergraduate Student Attitudes towards a Social Justice Context in a Programming Project
ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education
Our students supported social justice contexts and content within their programming education, and requested deeper dives and discussions that challenge their preconceived notions.
Aadarsh Padiyath (2024)
A Realist Review of Undergraduate Student Attitudes towards Ethical Interventions in Technical Computing Courses
ACM Transactions on Computing Education
Students attitudes towards ethics interventions in their technical courses are complex, following many pathways. Four theories were identified to help guide interventions towards success.

Critiquing Computing Artifacts through Programming Satirical Python Scripts
IEEE Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology
Programming scripts containing egregious/satirized versions of Dr. Ruha Benjamin's "glitches" in software were a valuable way of critiquing computing artifacts.

desAIner: Exploring the Use of "Bad" Generative Adversarial Networks in the Ideation Process of Fashion Design
ACM Creativity & Cognition
Some fashion designers don't like the incestuous nature of GANs trained on existing fashion, but were inspired by the amorphous images it generated.
Duri Long, Aadarsh Padiyath, Anthony Teachey, Brian Magerko (2021)
The role of collaboration, creativity, and embodiment in AI learning experiences
ACM Creativity & Cognition
Intimidation and age were two main inhibitors to collaborative interaction in AI literacy take-home museum exhibits.
