Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of LearnGuide, a custom GPT developed with ChatGPT for supporting self-directed learning (SDL) in medical students. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How does LearnGuide influence SDL skills among medical students? Can LearnGuide improve critical thinking and learning flow as measured by Cornell Critical Thinking Test (CCTT) Level Z score and Global Flow Score (GFS)?

Participants will:

Undergo a two-hour introduction to LearnGuide. Engage in 12 weeks of SDL task-based training with LearnGuide\'s support.

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the group utilizing LearnGuide for SDL and the group without this tool to see if there is a significant difference in SDL skills, critical thinking, and learning flow experiences.
