Abstract: This study aimed to analyze prompts of programming students with a chatbot powered by OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, enhanced with the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technique, within the context of a Java programming course. The focus was on students using two metacognitive strategies: interleaving and spacing. Student prompts were categorized into eight categories along with their respective study topics. Findings revealed that the categories and markers of spacing and interleaving were important in identifying study sessions with the chatbot. However, students showed limited intentional application of these learning strategies. These results highlight the need for more comprehensive guidance on leveraging AI tools to improve learning outcomes.
