Results from our #RCT of Jigsaw #ActiveLearning vs. traditional lectures for teaching #anatomy and #physiology:

Both methods improved student knowledge, but no evidence of *differences* in learning between the two methods (immediately or after three months). However, many more students in the ‘traditional teaching’ group than in the Jigsaw group *preferred* their assigned teaching method over others (78% vs. 38%).

How #AI impacts Skill Formation

"Although most studies have focused on the end product of AI assistance (eg, lines of code written, quality of ideas proposed), an equally important, if not more crucial question is how
process of receiving AI assistance impacts workers."

This new study — a #RCT from #Anthropic — concludes that junior #software #developers who rely on #LLM #code assistants will pay the price in skill and knowledge acquisition.
