📄 ChatGPT-generated help produces learning gains equivalent to human tutor-authored help on mathematics skills
> Pardos & Bhandari (2024) report a randomized efficacy study (N=274) comparing ChatGPT-generated hints to human tutor-authored hints and a no-help control across four mathematics subject areas. Only …
📄 Generative AI Availability, Grades, and Student Satisfaction at a Large University
This large-scale observational study tests the "GenAI substitution hypothesis" — the concern that students offload cognitive effort to [[generative-ai]] and earn inflated grades without learning. Usin…
📄 Artificial intelligence and feedback in university education: effectiveness and student perceptions
This quasi-experimental study directly compares **AI-generated feedback** (two LLMs: **GPT-o4-mini** and **DeepSeek R1**) with **expert human-teacher feedback** in a project-based university course (A…
📄 Is AI making us stupid?
A 3-page **perspective** (opinion/review, not an empirical study) addressing whether AI use erodes human cognition. The authors' answer: **not inherently — but the risk is real and follows the cogniti…
📄 Generative AI without guardrails can harm learning: Evidence from high school mathematics
This landmark field experiment is among the first randomized controlled trials to causally demonstrate that **unguarded generative-AI tutoring can harm skill acquisition**, not merely fail to help. Co…
📄 Learning behavior accounts for background-related advantage in AI-assisted education
Investigates why AI-for-education shows inconsistent average effects, arguing that learning behavior explains background-related advantage: students from advantaged backgrounds engage with AI tools in…
📄 Do Gains from Generative AI-Enabled Adaptive Pretesting Persist? Evidence from a Retention Study
Akgun and Toker (2026) examine whether learning gains from GenAI-enabled adaptive pretesting persist over a seven-week retention period. Undergraduate participants completed adaptive AI-assisted prete…
📄 Faster Completion, Less Learning: Generative AI Reduced Study Time on Math Problems and the Knowledge They Build
This landmark study provides the **first large-scale behavioral and outcome evidence** that [[generative-ai]] has fundamentally altered how students study and what they retain. Using a ten-year panel …
📄 Improving Hybrid Human-AI Tutoring by Differentiating Human Tutor Roles Based on Student Needs
In a large-scale quasi-experiment with 635 students (grades 5-8), hybrid human-AI tutoring produced substantial gains over AI-only tutoring: +25% time on task, +36% skill proficiency, and +61% standar…
