Although generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) feedback shows promise for educational applications, its actual impact on learning outcomes and the factors influencing its effectiveness remain unclear. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of GenAI feedback and identify key moderating factors. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we reviewed 36 experimental and quasi-experimental studies published between 2023 and 2025, yielding 72 effect sizes. The results…

The gain

A meta-analysis of 36 experimental and quasi-experimental studies (72 effect sizes, 2023 to 2025) found generative AI feedback had a moderate positive effect on academic achievement (g = 0.61).

What this doesn’t fix

Benefits for metacognitive development are described as promising but less established, and effects on non-cognitive outcomes were modest, so the authors call for further research on those outcomes.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2785 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
