这篇论文用7.7万学生的真实数据告诉你，AI学习助手Syntea在高校里到底谁在用、怎么用，比小样本调查靠谱多了。
该研究基于77,543名远程学习者的Syntea使用日志数据，分析了AI学习助手在不同性别、年龄段、学科、学位和学习模式下的使用模式。研究发现Syntea已融入许多学习者的学习常规，但使用情况因人口和结构背景而异。这项大规模分析为教育聊天机器人的实际使用提供了经验证据，补充了以往基于小样本和自报调查的研究。
Using AI-based Learning Assistants in Higher Education: A Large-Scale Descriptive Analysis
In this study, we present a large-scale descriptive analysis of the use of an AI-based learning assistant (Syntea) in higher education. Based on objective log data from 77,543 students enrolled in distance studies, we examine usage patterns across gender, age group, study cluster, degree, and study mode. To date, existing research on educational chatbots has largely relied on comparatively small samples and self-reported survey data, while large-scale evidence on actual usage behavior remains limited. Our findings show that Syntea is already embedded in the study routines of many learners, but that usage differs across demographic and structural contexts. By identifying these patterns, our study provides an empirical basis for the further development of AI-based learning support and contributes a large-scale analysis of educational chatbot usage in higher education.
