Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A randomized controlled trial with 86 K-12 students reported a significant SRL-strategy gain (p < 0.05) from agentic coaching systems that prompt planning, monitoring and reflection. → Kostopoulos 2025
Evidence¶
Kostopoulos 2025¶
Kostopoulos, G., Gkamas, V., Rigou, M., & Kotsiantis, S. (2025). Agentic AI in Education: State of the Art and Future Directions. IEEE Access. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2025.3620473
q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports a randomized controlled trial with 86 K-12 students evaluating agentic coaching systems fostering self-regulated learning, finding a "significant SRL-strategy gain, p < 0.05". Only a p-value is printed and no effect size, so the magnitude is unknown and impact is coded i?; the gain itself is reported as significant.
"Controlled evaluations show positive effects on metacognitive strategy use and persistence (Zimmerman [11]; Panadero [15] — randomized controlled trial, N = 86 K-12 students, significant SRL-strategy gain, p < 0.05)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Evidence suggests over-reliance on generative AI may negatively affect students' self-regulated learning behaviors, potentially harming retention and transfer to novel contexts — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Evidence for agentic AI in education is strongest for formative tutoring and SRL coaching, while orchestration and assessment applications remain at mid technology-readiness stages — a broader claim this one bears on
- Using the chatbot-based journaling system improves self-reported SRL strategy use from pre-survey to 12-week follow-up in all groups, including baseline — related
- In a randomized trial of SRL interventions in an online mathematics preparation course, group and time interacted significantly on SRL knowledge, self-efficacy and the SRL overall score, with Group TDP (training + diary + peer feedback) showing the most prominent gains — related
- A daily learning diary alone (Group D) did not produce statistically significant pre-post gains on any measured outcome in an online mathematics preparation course — related
- Web-based SRL training combined with a learning diary (Group TD) produced statistically significant pre-post gains in SRL knowledge, the SRL overall score and self-efficacy, but not in mathematics scores, among prospective university students in an online preparation course — related
