Scaffolding the Scaffolder: Augmenting Parental Agency in the Developmental Arena with Generative AI
摘要
Parent-child scaffolding interactions are foundational yet fleeting, making self-monitoring difficult for caregivers. We present GABRIEL, a multi-agent generative AI (GenAI) pipeline conceived as a reflective mirror to augment parental agency in dialogical book-sharing. This work is a proof-of-concept that establishes feasibility, traceability, and preliminary reliability rather than a fully validated monitoring tool. The evaluation uses 52 recordings from 42 predominantly mother-child dyads in a single Colombian region, which constrains generalizability. Agreement with a human-coded benchmark (trained undergraduate raters under supervision) is reported against a priori criteria defined in the Methods: exact and within-±1 agreement on a 1-9 scale, ordinal concordance (Kendall’s
