- Nature Communications, a major journal in the Nature Portfolio, has retracted a paper claiming AI had positive benefits on student learning.
- The original study, titled “The effect of ChatGPT on students’ learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking: insights from a meta-analysis,” was published by Jin Wang and Wenxiang Fan of Hangzhou Normal University in May last year. It analyzed 51 research studies between November 2022 and February 2025.
- The retraction follows criticism that the paper’s analysis was flawed, with some studies being improperly included or excluded from the meta-analysis without clear justification.
