Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has brought new ideas for optimizing students' learning. Despite increasing attention on the effects of GAI on learning outcomes (LO), research results are inconsistent. While GAI's educational benefits are qualitatively described, there is substantial debate about its actual impact on students' LO. The…
