Judgment-Centred Software Engineering Education: A Post-Hype Review and Framework for AI-Augmented Learning

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into software development and computing education workflows has shifted the focus from allowing code generation to ensuring human understanding and responsible AI interaction. This document highlights a structured review of research and practice up to September 2026, aiming to develop a framework for AI-augmented learning that addresses these educational challenges.

This development is strategically important as it addresses the fundamental shift in how human expertise is valued and developed within technology-intensive fields. Ensuring that professionals can effectively collaborate with and understand increasingly autonomous AI systems is critical for maintaining innovation, quality, and ethical standards in software development and beyond.

Generative AI has become a standard component of software development and computing education.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
