Abstract (arXiv)

Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous goal setting and proactive intervention introduce new challenges for regulating moral-emotional processes in learning environments. Existing frameworks typically treat emotion as reactive feedback or engagement optimization, overlooking the need for normative regulation across autonomous decision cycles.This paper proposes an ethical emotion regulation framework for agentic AI learning design inspired by Toegye Yi Hwang's moral-emotional philosophy. The Ethical Emotion Feedback System (EEFS) is reconstructed as a five-stage architecture aligned with agentic cycles, articulating stage-specific design principles and scenario classifications.An EEFS Evaluation Instrument is introduced to enable systematic assessment of moral-emotional alignment in agentic AI systems.
