The research model…

While existing literature documents the benefits and concerns of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) for learning processes, it largely overlooks fundamental learning theories such as Cognitive Load Theory, Constructivism, Activity Theory, and Bloom's Taxonomy. This study employs a scoping review methodology to identify current research gaps…
