Perceived satisfaction of university students with the use of chatbots as a tool for self-regulated learning
Open accessAbstract
Chatbots are a promising resource for giving students feedback and helping them deploy metacognitive strategies in their learning processes. In this study we worked with a sample of 57 university students, 42 undergraduate and 15 Master's degree students in Health Sciences. A mixed research methodology was applied. The quantitative study analysed the influence of the variables educational level (undergraduate vs. master's degree) and level of prior knowledge on the frequency of chatbot use (low vs. average), learning outcomes, and satisfaction with the chatbot's usefulness. In addition, we examined whether the frequency of chatbot use depended on students' metacognitive strategies. The qualitative study analysed the students' suggestions for improvement to the chatbot and the type of questions it used. The results indicated that the level of degree being studied influenced the frequency of chatbot use and learning outcomes, with Master's students exhibiting higher levels of both, but levels of prior knowledge only influenced learning outcomes. Significant differences were also found in students' perceived satisfaction with the use of the chatbot, with Master's students scoring higher, but not with respect to the level of prior knowledge. No conclusive results were found regarding frequency of chatbot use and the levels of students' metacognitive strategies. Further studies are needed to guide this research based on the students' suggestions for improvement.

Master's students demonstrated higher learning gains and used the chatbot more frequently than bachelor's students.
“The study found that master’s students demonstrated higher learning gains and used the chatbot more frequently than bachelor’s students.”
From Digital affordances of AI chatbots in nursing education: a systematic review of learning gains and gaps in the evidence (2026) · cites this paper as [28]
The Results section ('Influence of the type of degree') reports that master’s students scored higher than bachelor’s students on both chatbot-use frequency and learning outcomes. But 'learning gains' implies improvement over time; the Methods ('Instruments') describes learning outcomes as grades on a 0–10 scale, not a measure of gains. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPersonalization (n = 4) by AI chatbots, through timely feedback, has shown a significant impact on students' diagnostic skills, engagement, and frequency of chatbot use.
“Personalization (n = 4) by AI chatbots, through timely feedback, have shown a significant impact on students’ diagnostic skills, engagement, and frequency of chatbot use (19, 28, 44).”
From Digital affordances of AI chatbots in nursing education: a systematic review of learning gains and gaps in the evidence (2026) · cites this paper as [28]
The literature review (page unavailable) says real-time chatbot interaction can help personalize learning and discusses personalized feedback. The Results and Discussion (pages unavailable) report frequency of chatbot use, but do not show that personalization or timely feedback significantly affected that frequency, diagnostic skills, or engagement. The cited paper therefore supports the general personalization premise, not the claimed significant impacts. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPersonalization (n = 3) by AI chatbots significantly enhances nursing students' prior knowledge and academic performance.
“Similarly, personalization (n = 3) by AI chatbots was found to significantly enhance nursing students’ prior knowledge and academic performance (25, 28).”
From Digital affordances of AI chatbots in nursing education: a systematic review of learning gains and gaps in the evidence (2026) · cites this paper as [28]
The Results (page unavailable) report significantly better learning outcomes among students with higher prior knowledge, and the Discussion suggests tailoring chatbot responses to prior-knowledge levels. But the study involved Health Sciences students, not specifically nursing students, and did not find that chatbot personalization enhanced either prior knowledge or academic performance. The cited paper also does not establish the claim’s “n = 3.” (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSáiz-Manzanares et al. (28) found that students with moderate prior knowledge and those pursuing master's degrees showed superior learning gains.
“Sáiz-Manzanares et al. (28), employing a mixed-methods approach, found that students with moderate prior knowledge and those pursuing master’s degrees showed superior learning gains.”

Nursing professionals are challenged to quickly adapt to evolving medical knowledge, make accurate decisions in real-case scenarios, and master complex nursing skills.
“Additionally, with the rapid advancements in nursing research and the advent of new diseases and medications, nursing professionals are challenged to quickly adapt to evolving medical knowledge, make accurate decisions in real-case scenarios, and master complex nursing skills (1, 17, 26–28).”

The Introduction discusses changes in university teaching, and the Limitations section identifies the sample as health-sciences students; neither addresses the challenges faced by nursing professionals. Searches for nursing skills, clinical decisions, evolving medical knowledge, new diseases, and medications found no passage supporting the attributed claim. The indexed passages provide section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
