| contents | This work explores the integration of AI custom chatbots in educational settings, with a particular focus on their applicability in the context of mathematics and physics. In view of the increasing deployment of AI tools such as ChatGPT in educational contexts, the present study examines their potential as personalized tutoring systems. The study assesses the impact of AI-generated learning materials on the learning experiences and performance of sixth-grade students, with a particular focus on proportional relationships in mathematical and physical contexts. The randomized controlled study with N = 214 students compared traditional textbook materials with explanations generated by a custom chatbot. The results demonstrated that while AI-generated materials had an indefinite impact on learning outcomes, they significantly enhanced positive-activating emotions, situational interest, and self-efficacy, while reducing intrinsic and extrinsic cognitive load. These findings underscore the potential of AI to transform educational practices by fostering a superior learning experience. However, further research is required to clarify its impact on learning performance and long-term learning outcomes. The study highlights the importance of careful integration and customization of AI tools to maximize their benefits in physics education. |
