Reuther, K., Mueller, L. O., Constantian, G., & Nguyen, A. (2025). Schema Study: Student Outcomes from an LLM-Powered Formative Feedback Tool in Introductory Biology. SABER Annual Meeting 2025.
Presentation of research on Schema Study, an LLM-powered formative feedback application used in a 225-student introductory biology course. Results from pre/post surveys showed 72% of students would reuse the tool, and each additional day per week of use more than doubled the likelihood of recommending it to peers. Data on student AI self-efficacy and beliefs about AI relevance to their education were also presented.
