The article discusses how human interactions with AI differ greatly from those with students. When AI fails, users commonly adjust inputs or tasks rather than attributing failure to laziness, highlighting how environment impacts performance. In education, however, students are often blamed for failures instead of the instructional design being critiqued. The article emphasizes that student behavior makes sense in the context of their learning environment, as proposed by behaviorist B.F. Skinner, who notes that errors indicate a need for better design rather than personal faults.
When students don't meet expectations in a classroom, the response is often very different. We may call out late work, assume a lack of effort, or question students' motivation.
Behavior is not driven by internal traits but shaped by the environment. What a student says, writes, or does is always a function of the conditions around them.
