Exploring Undergraduates' Learning While Using Generative AI

The purpose of the study is to investigate how undergraduate students self-regulate their learning while using generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT. Studies show that self-regulated learning plays a critical role in digital learning, which suggests it is likely critical for learning with generative AI. However, because of the rapid integration and advancement of generative AI, there is a lack of clarity on whether generative AI enhances or hinders self-regulated learning. This study directly investigates this tension by capturing how learners use, or fail to use, self-regulated learning when using generative AI.
