LearnAdapt Praxis: Controlled AI Assistance and Evidence Traces for Adult Workplace Learning

The LearnAdapt Praxis architecture addresses the challenge of assessing independent reasoning in adult workplace learning when AI assistance is utilized. It proposes a five-stage learning workspace (Frame, Learn, Build, Validate, Transfer) designed to provide controlled AI coaching and maintain an evidence trail of a learner's progression. This system aims to facilitate the production of plausible workplace artifacts while also allowing for inspection of the learning process through stored responses, versioned specifications, and coaching records, although it acknowledges limitations in detecting external AI use.

This research addresses the critical strategic challenge of integrating AI into learning and development without compromising the assessment of individual competency. It is crucial for organizations looking to leverage AI for productivity gains while ensuring that employees retain and develop essential skills and independent reasoning capabilities. This system could provide a framework for future AI-enabled learning platforms that prioritize verifiable skill acquisition.

AI assistance in the workplace can obscure a learner's independent reasoning and understanding.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
