2026 한국교육정보미디어학회 춘계학술대회 최우수논문상 수상

At the 2026 Spring Conference of the Korean Association for Educational Information and Media (KAEIM), Kyuwon Kim (M.S. student) received the Best Paper Award. The conference was held at Yonsei University on May 29–30, 2026, under the theme, "Expanding AI-Based Education and Ensuring Trustworthiness: Reframing the Future of Education."

Kyuwon received the Best Paper Award for the study, "Examining the Effects of Participation and Functional Roles of LLM-Based Conversational Agents in Decision-Making on Controversial Issues." This study investigated how different roles performed by LLM-based conversational agents influence discussion processes and the quality of decisions in collaborative decision-making contexts. The findings demonstrated the educational potential of AI agents and showed that peer-role agents can go beyond simply providing information to facilitate learner interaction and deliberative engagement. The study also offers implications for the design of collaborative learning and decision-support systems powered by generative AI.
