Research in a Nature sub - journal: ChatGPT significantly improves the learning effectiveness of primary and secondary school students, with an 86.7% increase in learning effectiveness

A study published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, a Nature sub - journal, points out that the use of ChatGPT has a significant positive impact on improving the learning performance of K12 students (primary and secondary school students), with an average increase of 0.867 standard deviations, equivalent to an 86.7% surge in learning effectiveness. This study synthesizes 51 randomized double - blind experiments on the impact of large language models on teaching effectiveness, covering language, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) courses, and the teaching of professional skills such as programming. The experimental durations vary from short - term to long - term, and include various ways of using ChatGPT, such as personalized recommendations, evaluations, the tutor role, and mixed use.

The research results show that in addition to the significant improvement in academic performance, ChatGPT also helps cultivate students' higher - order thinking skills (i.e., the ability to reason, summarize, and innovatively use learned knowledge to solve complex problems, with an average increase of 0.457 standard deviations). In addition, the study also finds that ChatGPT can reduce students' mental burden, enhance learning enthusiasm, and does not affect the accuracy of students' self - assessment of their abilities. Although the short - term improvement effect is the most obvious, the study emphasizes that these positive impacts occur in a regulated usage environment. If students only rely on ChatGPT to complete their assignments without independent thinking, the same effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, the study suggests that parents and teachers provide appropriate guidance on how students use large language models.
