Subclaims¶

q1 i? The authors interpret their results as showing the intervention chiefly benefits creative mathematical performance and attitudes, while its effect on problem-solving skills remains limited. → Mujib 2026

Evidence¶

Mujib 2026¶

Mujib, M., Suherman, S. and Mardiyah, M. (2026) 'Evaluating the Impact of AI-Supported Inquiry-Based Learning on Students’ Creative Mathematical Performance, Critical Problem-Solving Skills, and Attitudes toward Mathematics', Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, vol. 19, no. 2, pp. 142–153. https://doi.org/10.7160/eriesj.2026.190204

q1 · i? · causal · r?

Authors' overall interpretation of the quasi-experimental results, not a separately tested finding. It summarizes the pattern of significant gains in creativity and attitudes alongside a non-significant problem-solving result; no new statistics are printed.

"Overall, the findings suggest that AI-supported inquiry-based learning mainly supports creativity and affective development, while its effect on problem-solving skills remains limited"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it
• Problem Solving — outcome: instruction changes it
