Syntes: Fan, Ke, Chen & Lv (2026) — GenAI och läranderesultat i högre utbildning
ID: AI-002
Tier: meta
Closed-book follow-up: nej / sällan strikt (författarna varnar: uppgiftsprestation ≠ hållbart lärande)
HE vs K–12: HE only
Novelty decay: oklar; många korta interventioner
Utfallslabel: prestation, inte lärande
Metadata
- ID:
AI-002 - Tier: meta
- N: 36 studier, 132 ES, N=7 229
- Population: vuxen / HE
- Country: blandad (eng/kinesiska inkl.)
- Subject: GenAI learning outcomes
- Duration: varierar, ofta kort
Finding
Hedges’ g ≈ 0,50 overall i HE. Starkast collaborative/blended. Utan strikt closed-book: tolka som prestation, inte lärande.
Mechanism
Pedagogisk inbäddning (collaborative/blended) modererar mer än modellversion; risk för cognitive offloading.
Limits
Ingen K–12; closed-book sällan; heterogenitet.
This claim dies if …
K–12-metas med obligatorisk closed-book follow-up visar g≈0 eller negativ retention trots positiv practice-performance.
Swedish implication
Measure practice-vs-closed-book-gap innan GenAI skalas; stop att importera HE g≈0,5 som K–12-lärandeeffekt.
