ArXi:2603.20211v1 Announce Type: cross AI-based chatbots have the potential to accelerate learning and teaching, but may also have counterproductive consequences without thoughtful design and scaffolding. To better understand teachers' perspectives on large language model (LLM)-based chatbots, we conducted a study with 11 teams of middle school teachers using chatbots for a science and computational thinking activity within a block-based programming environment.
