The Impact of an AI-based Educational Tool, with a Focus on Technology Acceptance and Metacognitive Awareness of Adult Learners

Mon, Oct 16, 9:00 to 9:50am EDT (9:00 to 9:50am EDT), Doubletree Main Conference Center - Universal, Universal E1

Short Description

This study examines whether AI-powered scaffolding during pre-classroom activities provides an advantage to students in an undergraduate-level Biology course. The study deployed Student Mental Model Analyzer for Research and Teaching (SMART), an AI-based formative assessment and feedback platform, to help students summarize reading materials. We observed the use of SMART had a positive effect on learners' perceived usefulness of technology, and the number of key concepts and density of summaries predicted learners' perceived technology usefulness.
