This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the impact of ChatGPT interventions on student learning. Sixty-nine experimental studies were analyzed, revealing that ChatGPT significantly improved academic performance, affective-motivational states, and higher-order thinking propensities, while also reducing mental effort.
However, ChatGPT's effect on self-efficacy was not significant, and the review highlights methodological limitations, such as insufficient sample sizes in many studies, and calls for future research to address these issues.
The review also explores the characteristics of effective ChatGPT interventions.
