I saw this meta-analysis shared a couple of times recently, so we took a look and re-analyzed the data. | František Bartoš

I saw this meta-analysis shared a couple of times recently, so we took a look and re-analyzed the data. We found that the conclusion is almost entirely driven by publication bias. Both state-of-the-art and standard methods reduce the degree of the effect 2-3 fold. Moreover, the data no longer show statistical evidence for the main conclusions. Importantly, our findings do not imply that there is no positive effect of ChatGPT, or other large language models on learning; in fact, our analysis reveals that there is “absence of evidence” rather than “evidence of absence”. The present literature appears to be contaminated by publication bias; high-quality registered reports are needed to properly evaluate the effect of large language models in educational settings.
