q2 i? Use of LLM-based GenAI tools may interfere with learners' reading comprehension and information retention even though learners self-report the tools are helpful for learning. → Mills 2025

Evidence¶

Mills, K., Noakes, S., Pattenhouse, M., Shell, A., & Vollavanh, A. (2025). Powerful Learning with Emerging Technology. Digital Promise. https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/274

q2 · i? · review · r?

The report cites reviewed research (Kreijkes et al., 2025) reporting that LLM-based tools 'may interfere with learners' reading comprehension and information retention' while learners self-report helpfulness. No effect size is printed in the report.

"the use of emerging technologies based on large language models (LLMs), such as GenAI tools, may interfere with learners' reading comprehension and information retention, even though learners self-report that these tools are helpful for learning (Kreijkes et al., 2025)."
