aceWhen college students perceive GAI feedback as credible: the role of perceived GAI feedback credibility in promoting deep learning through cognitive engagement
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) has rapidly developed in higher education and has raised new questions from an educational psychology perspective. Why does GAI feedback promote meaningful learning for some college students but fail to produce similar learning benefits for others? To answer this question, this study develops a theoretical framework based on Information Processing Theory, Elaboration Likelihood Model, and Constructivist Learning Theory. This study examines how perceived GAI feedback credi…
Among 506 surveyed undergraduates, those who judged generative AI feedback as more credible reported higher cognitive engagement and deeper learning, with engagement partly explaining the link.
The evidence comes from a questionnaire analyzed with structural equation modeling, and the authors say credible feedback 'may' support deep learning, so the findings suggest rather than prove a causal pathway.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2205 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
