However, its integration into education raises concerns about misinformation and over-reliance, particularly among adolescents.

The study was implemented in the context of a two-week Information Science and Technology course in a middle school, involving three classes with 45, 41 and 45 students, respectively. To ensure consistency in teaching styles, all classes were taught by the same experienced teacher.
