AI systems continuously re-tune problem difficulty to the individual student's measured performance, holding each learner at a level of challenge that is neither too easy nor too hard, which is the route by which personalisation is claimed to produce deeper learning Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. immediate machine feedback lets a learner detect and repair an error while the attempt is still active, so the correct concept is reinforced instead of the mistake being consolidated Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. what this limits: any claim in this editorial about 'AI': the opening sentence treats artificial intelligence, generative AI and large language models as the same thing, so a claim about one is written as a claim about all three Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. what this limits: a judgement that some AI-supported activity produced meaningful learning: the term is defined here as going beyond rote memorisation and mechanical application, which says what it is not Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. what this limits: a recommendation to adopt these tools: the editorial names over-reliance as a concern that may lead to a diminished role for teachers, and states AI should complement rather than replace them Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. what this limits: the benefits claimed here for mathematics learning: they are conditional on equitable access to the technology, which the editorial states is essential for any positive impact Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. artificial intelligence Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. generative AI Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. large language models Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. meaningful learning Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. personalisation Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution.

'HOWEVER, THERE ARE CONCERNS THAT OVER-RELIANCE ON AI TOOLS SUCH AS CHATGPT MIGHT UNDERMINE STUDENTS' ABILITY TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS.' The same capability that makes the tool useful for a task is what removes the occasion to learn the task - and note that wang2024's students said this themselves, 22 of 48 unprompted, so it is reported here as a literature concern and there as a first-person one Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. differs in: WHAT THE SAME SOURCE IS CITED FOR. Grájeda et al. supplies BOTH the list of effective-teaching components - which includes 'INCORPORATING TECHNOLOGY' - AND, two sentences later, the over-reliance concern. One citation carries the endorsement and the caution, and a reader following either citation alone gets half of what that source says Quotation withheld because this record is not cleared for redistribution. differs in: WHICH THREE THINGS ARE PUT IN ONE LIST. 'the integration of AI into education also raises Quotation withheld' - an empirical question, a distributional one and a normative one, joined by 'and' and answerable by entirely different kinds of evidence.
