About the Pilot Study
An initiative to examine the effects of learning by teaching
What this is
This pilot study examines whether teaching AI can deepen a learner’s own understanding.
This is not academic research conducted by a university or research institution. It is an initiative run within a service by the individual who develops and operates Tsurukame Portal. We want to make that distinction clear from the outset.
What participants do
No special task is required. Participants use the bottleneck calculator, AI consultation, SciCirc lessons, and learning-by-teaching activities as usual. Usage data is then used to examine changes in understanding before and after teaching activities.
What data is used
The following usage logs may be analyzed:
- Bottleneck calculator history
- AI consultation history
- SciCirc learning logs, including teaching conversations and understanding scores
Analysis is conducted in a form that does not identify individuals, such as statistical aggregates or anonymized data. For details about collection and use, see the Privacy Policy.
Participant thank-you gift
Participants are expected to receive three months of a future paid Tsurukame Portal subscription. The subscription feature is still in development, so the gift will be provided after it becomes available.
Consent
Creating an account or selecting the participation button is treated as consent to participate and to the analysis of usage logs. For details, see the Terms of Use・Privacy Policy.
