arXiv:2606.05509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to support self-directed learning, yet student interaction with such systems often remains unstructured, limiting engagement in deeper cognitive processes. This study examines how instructional guidance shapes student and AI interaction in construction education. A five-step prompting framework grounded in Generative Learning Theory (GLT) is introduced to guide learner interaction during review activities. A controlled experiment compares three learning conditions: slide-based learning, unprompted AI-supported learning, and prompted AI-supported learning. Learning performance is assessed using multiple-choice and open-ended tasks, and user experience is measured using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). Performance differences are concentrated on tasks requiring explanation and reasoning.
