Artificial intelligence (AI) has become more prevalent in education in recent years. Specifically, the perception of generative AI chatbots that generate essays based on the input of student prompts has invoked mixed reviews among educators. The negative learning implications of generative AI chatbots include plagiarism, academic dishonesty, and…

Scaffolds that support self-regulated learning (SRL) have been found to improve learning outcomes. The effects of scaffolds can differ depending on how learners use them and how specific scaffolds might influence learning processes differently. Personalized scaffolds have been proposed to be more beneficial for learning due to their adaptivity to…
