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.
q1 i? When AI is introduced without pedagogical scaffolding, it can replace rather than reinforce learners' self-regulatory processes such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating. → Wood 2026

The paper attributes this warning to Darvishi et al. (2024) and illustrates it with a writing-course scenario in which students upload full drafts and accept AI revisions wholesale, deferring metacognitive processes to the AI system. The finding is cited second-hand, not tested here.
"Darvishi et al.‘s (2024) warning that when AI is introduced without pedagogical scaffolding, it can replace rather than reinforce learners’ self-regulatory processes."
