Abstract

As an effective form of pedagogy, online collaborative learning has received increasing application in the field of education. However, learners often feel frustrated with regard to knowledge building, cognitive engagement, and socially shared regulation. To solve these problems, the current study proposed an approach featuring artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered assessments and personalized recommendations. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effect of the proposed approach on collaborative learning performance. In total, 135 college students, who were divided into three conditions, participated in the current study. The results of both quantitative and qualitative analysis indicated that the proposed approach could substantially enhance collaborative knowledge building, cognitive engagement, socially shared regulated behaviors, and group performance. The findings are discussed thoroughly alongside their pedagogical and technological implications.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • AI-based tools for teaching and learning, such as large language models and learning analytics, can lead to a more efficient and effective teaching process.

    “AI-based tools for teaching and learning, such as large language models (LLMs) and learning analytics, encompass improved planning and resource allocation, greater insight into student learning, and data-driven feedback on instructional design, which might lead to a more efficient and effective teaching process (Bond et al., 2023; Crompton & Burke, 2023; Zheng et al., 2024).”
  • Many AI applications in education tend to prioritize individualized learning over collaborative and socio-emotional learning.

    “This gap supports critiques raised by Sethi and Jain [60] and Zheng et al. [61], who argue that many AI applications in education tend to prioritize individualized learning over collaborative and socio-emotional learning.”

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.
