In this paper, we present the development and usability testing of the Feynman Bot, which uses the Feynman technique to assist self-regulated learners who lack peer or instructor support. The Bot embodies the Feynman learning technique by encouraging learners to discuss their lecture material in a question-answer-driven discussion format. The Feynman Bot was developed using a large language model with Langchain in a RetrievalAugmented-Generation framework to leverage the reasoning capability required to generate effective discussion-oriented questions. To test the Feynman bot, a controlled experiment was conducted over three days with fourteen participants. Formative and summative assessments were conducted, followed by a self-efficacy survey. We found that participants who used the Feynman Bot experienced higher learning gains than the Passive Learners' group. Moreover, Feynman Bot Learners' had a higher level of comfort with the subject after using the bot. We also found typing to be the preferred input modality method over speech, when interacting with the bot. The high learning gains and improved confidence with study material brought about by the Feynman Bot makes it a promising tool for selfregulated learners.  \nKeywords—Active Learning, Large Language Model, AI Learning bots, Self-regulated learning, Feynman Technique  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nOver the past few years, generative artificial intelligence, specifically large-language models, have been capitalized by learners and educators for many learning tasks, such as writing, proofing, and summarizing. Many applications have recognized the potential of using generative AI to promote active learning. Techniques such as question-answering and flashcard-based studying have been digitized to become easier to perform using apps such as AnkiBrain[1], [Revision.ai](Revision.ai) [2] . Self-studying applications such as Anki [3] have helped  \nlearners use spaced-repetition techniques for knowledge retention, while ChatGPT [4] is used by students to explore noted by asking questions and getting direct relevant answers. These applications help learners explore complex topics faster, cutting down study preparation time and using active learning techniques.  \nActive learning focuses on student-centric learning techniques to increase understanding and performance by enhancing learners’ engagement. It encompasses a wide array of methods of varying levels of engagement that learners can use to achieve a deep level of knowledge and comprehension of information.  \nSeveral papers highlight the ability of active learning to yield better scoring results and lower failure rates in learners, while also considering the link between student perceptions of these techniques and the quality of learning they yield. [5-6] . An extensive meta-analysis of studies on examination scores and failure rates of learners using active learning vs passive learning in STEM carried out by study [5], not only highlights the 6% increase in examination scores of active learning learners, but also mentions increased perception ofusefulness as the level of activity in the method of learning increased [5] . However, there are several roadblocks that inhibit the use of active learning approaches. First, studies have found low selfefficacy, shyness, and fear of leaving the comfort zone as student barriers to active learning [7] . Second, studies have cited that there are admini","cbCaihv5umbXiRH1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihv5umbXiRH1","pdf",639992,"English","# Introduction\n## Active learning with generative AI\n## Barriers to active learning and self-regulated learners\n## Motivation for an instructor-independent Feynman Bot","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the Feynman Bot address for learners?\",\"answer\":\"The Feynman Bot targets self-regulated learners who lack peer or instructor support, making it harder to apply active learning methods like the Feynman Technique.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Feynman Bot generate its question-and-answer discussions?\",\"answer\":\"It is built using a large language model with LangChain in a Retrieval-Augmented-Generation framework to leverage reasoning for discussion-oriented question generation.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main results from the three-day user study?\",\"answer\":\"Participants using the Feynman Bot achieved higher learning gains than the passive learning group and reported greater comfort with the subject after using the bot.\"}]","Learn Like Feynman - Developing and Testing an AI-Driven Feynman Bot | PDF"]
