Pedagogical Friction Interview Tool

Static GitHub Pages site for reviewing role-specific interview and card-sort instruments for:

Pedagogical Friction in the Age of Generative AI: A Mixed Methods Proposal

The root site is a neutral project entrance and role-selection page. Micah passed the Chapters 1-3 dissertation proposal defense on August 13, 2026. NLU IRB approved the study as Exempt on October 7, 2026 (protocol ER01884), through October 7, 2027. Interview invitations are on recruitment/. The anonymous survey is open, linked from survey-landing/. Survey-review sessions are finished. Role-specific pages are navigable read-only copies: wording is visible, but data entry, browser recording, local saving, and export are disabled.

These instrument pages do not collect responses and do not report findings.

What Changed

The front page has been rebuilt as a readable, dependency-free static project entrance instead of a combined interview instrument. The goal is to orient participants without shaping their responses before they enter a role-specific page.

The role-specific pages now include:

• A persistent UNDER REVIEW — NOT COLLECTING RESPONSES banner
• Consent, eligibility, and local-data notices aligned to the protected IRB packet
• Role-specific opening scripts reproduced verbatim from the Interview Opening of attachments 05A, 05B, and 05C, read after the separate written-consent procedure
• Chair-approved 05A-05C interview questions and role-specific probes
• Disabled response fields and export controls retained only as illustrations for wording and layout review; they are not the approved collection method
• Standardized follow-up probes rather than AI-generated individualized probing
• Analytic framework tags omitted from participant-facing screens and export previews
• Separate optional shared ten-card 05F sort for classroom-facing educators and adult university students, with the exact two placement dimensions and post-sort prompts
• No card sort in the school- and district-leader protocol
• No browser-local recording on any instrument page
• Live interview audio recording handled through a separate approved process
• Review-only navigation through every instrument section

Privacy and IRB Notes

This static version does not use a server, database, account system, or third-party transcription service.

Current limits:

• The pages do not receive, retain, or transmit participant responses, consistent with the Public-Site Boundary in attachment 06.
• Collection controls remain disabled under the current protocol. Enabling them requires explicit protocol authorization and applicable chair/IRB review before implementation.
• Teacher and leader pages do not expose browser microphone or camera capture.
• The student page contains no browser-local recording code; written permission for a separately handled live audio recording remains documented in the review flow.
• None of the public pages captures audio or video; consented live-session audio recording uses the separate approved process.
• No server, database, account system, analytics service, or third-party transcription service is used by the role-specific pages.
• The activation checklist and scope boundaries are recorded in IRB_STATUS.md.

Do not use the role pages for live interviews, card sorting, or survey administration. The recruitment page carries the approved invitations. The anonymous survey is open, linked only from survey-landing/. Association channels still need their own permission before a post goes there.

Current Review Flow

1. A committee or IRB reviewer selects a role-specific page.
2. The reviewer navigates through the complete instrument wording.
3. Disabled controls illustrate question formats only. The approved protocol does not authorize participant response entry, browser recording, participant file upload, or participant-generated export from these pages.
4. The approved IRB attachments, consent forms, and data-management plan are compared with the deployed version.
5. These pages remain a read-only display. Enabling any collection capability would require explicit protocol authorization, not merely written approval or a change of the status banner.

Methodological Design Notes

The app intentionally avoids fully dynamic AI-generated follow-up questions. Standardized follow-up probes preserve consistency across participants and are easier to defend in a mixed methods dissertation design.

Building-level administrators and district or system-level leaders complete the same institutional protocol. The role-identification prompt preserves the distinction between building and district/system perspectives. These pages produce no response exports.

The prompt data model retains internal analytic mappings to the Pedagogical Friction Framework, but those labels are not shown to participants or included in participant-facing export previews:

• noetic friction
• rhetorical friction
• existential friction
• infrastructural friction
• equity and access
• policy and governance
• authorship and accountability

Deployment

This is a static site. To publish on GitHub Pages:

1. Push changes to main.
2. The Deploy to GitHub Pages workflow publishes the static tree through GitHub Actions.
3. Verify the exact live routes and IRB-status markers after the deployment completes.

September 7 verification follow-up

The approved packet is the set of attachments submitted on September 14, 2026. See IRB_STATUS.md. Role-page collection remains disabled.
