Show PostThis is my first Bluesky post and I would like to respond to Brendan's critique on my recent paper: "The Effects of Course-Integrated AI Tutoring on Student Performance and Engagement: A Randomized University Trial." (1/2)
Show Post“The current study presents findings from, to our knowledge, the first large-scale randomized experiment evaluating the effects of AI tutoring on student learning at a large U.S. public university.” The only problem is the findings are wrong. brendanbartanen.substack.com/p/ai-tutorin...
Show PostYes, though a deeper question is whether the findings are causally connected to the skills picked up in prep that the licensure test measures.
Show PostI believe when teacher evaluation roles around again (I believe and hope it will), we will do it better based on what we've learned. This reminds me to say, this paper on implementation is worth reading: edworkingpapers.com/ai26-1601 5/5
