Subclaims¶

q2 i? Direct retrieval/review prompts and spontaneous inquiry were more frequent in the M-A module, while optimization engagement was more frequent in the M-E module; satisfaction was slightly higher in M-E (M = 4.65, SD = 0.43) than M-A (M = 4.54, SD = 0.50). → Zhao Qianhui and Li Shuhui 2026 q2 i? Most students reported no module difference in trust and GenAI utility; among those reporting differences, more favored M-E for trust. → Zhao Qianhui and Li Shuhui 2026 (2)

q2 · i? · design · r2

Module comparison of retrospective satisfaction ratings from the 12 students. The study reports "Satisfaction was slightly higher in the M-E module (M = 4.65, SD = 0.43) than in the M-A module (M = 4.54, SD = 0.50)".

"Satisfaction was slightly higher in the M-E module (M = 4.65, SD = 0.43) than in the M-A module (M = 4.54, SD = 0.50)."

q2 · i? · design · r2

Frequency comparison of coded interaction categories across the two modules' logs. The study reports "Direct retrieval/review prompts and spontaneous inquiry were more frequent in the M-A module than in the M-E module", while optimization engagement was more frequent in M-E.

"Direct retrieval/review prompts and spontaneous inquiry were more frequent in the M-A module than in the M-E module."
