RETRACTED ARTICLE: The effect of ChatGPT on students’ learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking: insights from a meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
As a new type of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT is becoming widely used in learning. However, academic consensus regarding its efficacy remains elusive. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving students’ learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking through a meta-analysis of 51 research studies published between November 2022 and February 2025. The results indicate that ChatGPT has a large positive impact on improving learning performance ( g = 0.867) and a moderately positive impact on enhancing learning perception ( g = 0.456) and fostering higher-order thinking ( g = 0.457). The impact of ChatGPT on learning performance was moderated by type of course ( Q B = 64.249, P < 0.001), learning model ( Q B = 76.220, P < 0.001), and duration ( Q B = 55.998, P < 0.001); its effect on learning perception was moderated by duration ( Q B = 19.839, P < 0.001); and its influence on the development of higher-order thinking was moderated by type of course ( Q B = 7.811, P < 0.05) and the role played by ChatGPT ( Q B = 4.872, P < 0.05). This study suggests that: (1) appropriate learning scaffolds or educational frameworks (e.g., Bloom’s taxonomy) should be provided when using ChatGPT to develop students’ higher-order thinking; (2) the broad use of ChatGPT at various grade levels and in different types of courses should be encouraged to support diverse learning needs; (3) ChatGPT should be actively integrated into different learning modes to enhance student learning, especially in problem-based learning; (4) continuous use of ChatGPT should be ensured to support student learning, with a recommended duration of 4–8 weeks for more stable effects; (5) ChatGPT should be flexibly integrated into teaching as an intelligent tutor, learning partner, and educational tool. Finally, due to the limited sample size for learning perception and higher-order thinking, and the moderately positive effect, future studies with expanded scope should further explore how to use ChatGPT more effectively to cultivate students’ learning perception and higher-order thinking.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This PRISMA-guided meta-analysis of 51 experimental and quasi-experimental studies (November 2022–February 2025) finds that ChatGPT has a large positive effect on students' learning performance (g = 0.867) and moderate positive effects on learning perception (g = 0.456) and higher-order thinking (g = 0.457). Effects are moderated by course type, learning model, duration, and the role ChatGPT plays, leading the authors to recommend scaffolded, sustained (4–8 week) integration of ChatGPT across grade levels and course types.
Key findings
- Overall effects across 72 independent effect sizes: learning performance g = 0.867 (k = 44, 95% CI [0.683, 1.052], p < 0.001); learning perception g = 0.456 (k = 19, 95% CI [0.287, 0.625], p < 0.001); higher-order thinking g = 0.457 (k = 9, 95% CI [0.255, 0.650], p < 0.001).
- Learning performance was moderated by type of course (Q_B = 64.249, p < 0.001; strongest for skills and competencies development, g = 0.874), learning model (Q_B = 76.220, p < 0.001; strongest for problem-based learning, g = 1.113, weakest for project-based learning, g = 0.239), and duration (Q_B = 55.998, p < 0.001; strongest at 4–8 weeks, g = 0.999). Grade level, role of ChatGPT, and application area were not significant.
- Learning perception was moderated only by duration (Q_B = 19.839, p < 0.001), with >8 weeks showing the largest effect (g = 1.054) versus ≤1 week (g = 0.203).
- Higher-order thinking was moderated by type of course (Q_B = 7.811, p < 0.05; STEM g = 0.737, language/writing g = 0.334, skills development g = 0.296) and role of ChatGPT (Q_B = 4.872, p < 0.05; intelligent tutor g = 0.945).
Methods
- Design: meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines, with literature search, inclusion/exclusion screening, coding of study characteristics, and data analysis; search covered Web of Science Core Collection, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Wiley Online Library, and Scopus, restricted to November 2022–February 2025, starting from 6,621 records and yielding 51 included articles.
- Sample: 51 (quasi-)experimental studies with an experimental group using ChatGPT and a control group without it, both using the same learning method; 72 independent effect sizes were extracted. Interrater reliability for study selection was Cronbach's α = 0.96.
- Analysis: Hedges's g computed in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (3.0/3.3.0), interpreted via Sawilowsky's (2009) thresholds; random-effects models were used given heterogeneity (I² = 89.243% for learning performance, 72.580% for learning perception, 55.813% for higher-order thinking); publication bias assessed via funnel plots and fail-safe N (5490, 399, and 101 respectively), with one-study-removal sensitivity analysis.
Limitations
- Stated by the authors: the sample of 51 documents included only one primary-school study and none at kindergarten level; only 19 and 9 studies examined learning perception and higher-order thinking respectively, versus a much larger sample for learning performance; only seven moderating variables were explored, omitting factors such as cultural background, parents' occupations, and national policies; and only experimental/quasi-experimental studies were included, excluding qualitative and mixed-methods research.
- Evident from the text: heterogeneity was high for learning performance (I² = 89.243%), and the authors note some funnel-plot points fell outside the diagonal lines, indicating potential bias or heterogeneity; several moderator categories (e.g., mixed roles, intelligent partners for higher-order thinking, primary school) were excluded from analyses due to insufficient data.
- Evident from the bibliographic record: the article is labeled "RETRACTED ARTICLE" in the title, though the retraction is not discussed in the full text provided.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
