Participants were pre-assigned into two classes, each receiving different types of GAI-assisted feedback during IBDs. A collection of data, including discussion transcripts, survey responses, and IBD performance, was collected and analysed with statistical methods and epistemic network analysis. The results demonstrated that idea-oriented feedback significantly enhanced cognitive presence and led to higher engagement in the exploration of different ideas and opinions. However, this type of feedback also induced greater negative emotional responses. In contrast, task-oriented feedback promoted more social interaction and group cohesion, though it was less effective in fostering higher-order thinking. The findings suggest that GAI tools can provide meaningful support in online learning settings, but the type of feedback must be carefully aligned with the desired learning outcomes.

Traditionally, these programs rely on manual analysis of classroom practices, which limits timely feedback to teachers. To address this, artificial intelligence (AI) has been employed for rapid dialogue analysis. However, practical applications of AI models remain limited, often prioritising state-of-the-art performance over educational impact. This study explores whether higher accuracy in AI models correlates with better educational outcomes. We evaluated the performance of two language models—BERT and Llama3—in dialogic analysis and assessed the impact of their performance differences on teachers' learning within a PD program. By fine-tuning BERT and engineering prompts for Llama3, we found that BERT exhibited substantially higher accuracy in analysing dialogic moves. Sixty preservice teachers were randomly assigned to either the BERT or Llama3 group, both participating in a workshop on the academically productive talk (APT) framework. The BERT group utilized the fine-tuned BERT model to facilitate their learning, while the Llama3 group employed the Llama3 model. Statistical analysis showed significant improvements in both groups' knowledge and motivation to learn the APT framework, with high levels of satisfaction reported. Notably, no significant differences were found between the two groups in posttest knowledge, motivation, and satisfaction. Interviews further elucidated how both models facilitated teachers' learning of the APT framework.

This study investigated how fourth and fifth grade students' technology self-efficacy (ie, confidence in utilizing learning management systems) and networking agency (ie, comfort in collaborating and communicating with others online) predicted students' engagement in technology-mediated instruction in online and face-to-face environments. Hierarchical regression and moderation analyses were employed to examine the independent and joint effects of technology self-efficacy and networking agency in two cohorts of public elementary school students from a Midwestern US city. For Cohort 1 students primarily receiving synchronous online instruction in 2020–2021, higher networking agency predicted greater engagement in online learning. For Cohort 2 students primarily receiving face-to-face instruction in 2021–2022, only technology efficacy significantly predicted student engagement. As for task-specific engagement in small group activities, however, which involved heavier use of the learning management systems and applications, networking agency was a significant moderator. Notably, as students felt less comfortable with online collaboration/communication (ie, lower networking agency), technology self-efficacy had a stronger association with students' engagement.

{"title":"Enhancing self-regulated learning and learning experience in generative AI environments: The critical role of metacognitive support","authors":"Xiaoqing Xu, Lifang Qiao, Nuo Cheng, Hongxia Liu, Wei Zhao","doi":"10.1111/bjet.13599","DOIUrl":"10.1111/bjet.13599","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has brought opportunities and new challenges to higher education. Students need a high level of self-regulated learning to adapt to this change. However, it is difficult for students to persist in self-regulation without guidance. Metacognitive support has a significant advantage in enhancing self-regulated learning, but fewer studies have explored the effects of its role in GenAI environments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of metacognitive support on college students' self-regulated learning and learning experiences in a GenAI environment. A quasi-experiment was designed in which 68 college students were divided into two groups. The experimental group (<i>N</i> = 35) received explicit metacognitive support, while the control group (<i>N</i> = 33) did not receive any metacognitive prompts. The experiment lasted 4 weeks. The study measured students' academic performance, self-regulated learning ability and learning experiences (including cognitive load and technology acceptance). The results indicate that in the GenAI environment, metacognitive support, while not producing significant between-group differences in achievement, enhances students' self-regulated learning abilities particularly in terms of task strategy and self-evaluation, as well as optimizing their learning experience. The study also found that students were at risk of decreasing their level of self-regulated learning if they lacked metacognitive support in the GenAI environment. The conclusion points out that GenAI supports learners to accomplish learning tasks while potentially reducing self-regulated learning effectiveness, and that metacognitive support is key to supporting effective regulation in learners' GenAI environments. This study provides an important theoretical and practical basis for how to better support learners' learning in GenAI environments.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner notes</h3>\u0000 <p>What is already known about this topic\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>SRL is vital for effective learning in digital environments.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, can enhance learning but require support.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Learners often struggle to apply SRL strategies without guidance.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 <p>What this paper adds\u0000\u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Metacognitive support improves SRL in Generative AI environments.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>It reduces cognitive load and increases the perceived usefulness of AI tools.</li>\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":48315,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Educational Technology","volume":"56 5","pages":"1842-1863"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144811293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
