Title: Faster Completion, Less Learning: Generative AI Reduced Study Time on Math Problems and the Knowledge They Build
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.21629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How much have students' ordinary learning processes shifted in response to generative AI, and how does that affect their durable learning outcomes? Self-report surveys show little change, while small-scale behavioral studies report widespread AI use without the scale or duration to measure learning consequences. We address both questions using a ten-year panel of $3.2$ million ALEKS learning interactions for the time-on-task analysis, complemente
