Pens or AI?
Kosovo, between digitalization and traditional learning methods.
93.4% of surveyed students report using AI. More than half use AI every day for school purposes.
When access to AI was removed, students who had used the baseline version performed worse than those who had not used AI at all.
Handwriting forces students to slow down and summarize information in their own words, requiring deeper cognitive engagement.
Not only are students using AI without clear rules and limits, but assessment and oversight mechanisms have not yet been adapted to this reality.
