Digital feedback via free ChatGPT within the reciprocal teaching style: improving fundamental handball skills and students' attitudes among university beginners.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Digital technologies and artificial intelligence offer new opportunities to enhance teaching and learning processes in physical education. However, empirical evidence on the pedagogical use of ChatGPT-based feedback in skill-based sport instruction remains limited. This study examined the effectiveness of integrating ChatGPT-based digital feedback within the Reciprocal Teaching Style (RTS) to improve fundamental handball skills and students' attitudes in higher education. Methods: A randomized pre-test-post-test control group design was used. Fifty-six undergraduate students enrolled in a third-level university handball course, with no prior formal handball training, were randomly allocated to either an experimental group receiving ChatGPT-based digital feedback embedded within Reciprocal Teaching Style or a control group using reciprocal teaching with peer feedback only. Both groups completed a structured 15-session instructional program over one academic semester. ChatGPT was used to generate structured corrective feedback based on predefined performance criteria, with mandatory manual analysis and human supervision to verify feedback accuracy. Data were collected using standardized physical fitness tests, expert-validated performance checklists assessing seven fundamental handball skills, and a students' attitudes scale. Analysis of covariance was conducted while controlling for pre-test scores. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in favor of the experimental group across all assessed handball skills ( Conclusion: Integrating ChatGPT-based digital feedback within reciprocal teaching enhances technical skill acquisition and supports favorable learning-related attitudes in university physical education. This approach provides a practical pedagogical model for improving feedback quality and instructional efficiency in skill-based sport courses, particularly in large-class settings, when supported by structured procedures and human oversight.
