"The Impact of GenAI on Learning Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Experimental Studies." Educational Research Review 48: article 100714. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2025.100714.About this Journal Article:This study examined 68 experimental studies on the use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in education. The researchers found that AI generally has a positive effect on student learning. The results suggest that AI can be an effective learning tool, but its impact varies depending on factors such as the student’s educational level, the subject, how the technology is used, etc. Overall, the study concludes that while generative AI shows significant promise in education, more research is needed to determine the most effective ways to integrate it into different learning environments. Annotation by Chiebuka Tor Findings indicate that students are using AI more and more. As educators we need rethink our pedagogy with these findings in mind. Annotation by Kriss Kempt Graham
