Abstract
The use of student-generated questions (SGQ) is a relatively novel educational strategy that can result in learning gains across diverse student populations and educational settings.This paper examines the effectiveness of three conditions (generation, retrieval, and re-reading) against two categories of question (factual and applied) through a between-subjects study design.After completing one of the three learning conditions: student-generated questions (generation or SGQ) with simultaneous access to content, practiced free recall of the learnt content (retrieval), and re-reading of the study material (re-reading), content learning was evaluated through a final test.Results demonstrate the learning potential of generation and hint at an association between question type and condition, suggesting that SGQ is an effective strategy to boost student learning, with potentially stronger results in specific contexts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
