Research Studies Of The Week Mohamed_hassan / Pixabay I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature. You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here. Here are some new useful studies (and related resources):

One of my first thoughts when ChatGPT came out three years ago was that it would be a great tool for students to create texts about high-interest topics that they wanted to read – whether it was a story about soccer featuring them as the star player, or about any nonfiction topic. A new study finds that when students do this: statistically significant differences were identified in favor of both experimental groups with respect to reading and comprehension skills as well as reading motivation. The study is titled Improving students’ reading, comprehension, and reading motivation through texts generated from their prompts using ChatGPT-4: a mixed-method study. Of course, since many districts block AI tools, many students won’t be able to create these texts on their school-issued Chromebooks, but they can on their phones.

It’s pretty wild to think that I’ve now been writing this blog for NINETEEN years! It’s had well over twenty-million visits from readers during that time, over thirty-four thousand separate blog posts have been published, and the blog has somewhere between fifteen-and-twenty thousand daily readers. You can see my favorites posts from over the years here. And you can see some of the all-time most popular posts here. I’ve learned, and continue to learn, an enormous amount through blogging, and think I was a far better teacher because of it. I hope it’s been at least a little helpful to readers over the years, and appreciate your support.
