Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows increasing potential to improve mathematics instruction, yet integrative quantitative evidence currently is lacking on its overall effectiveness and factors influencing success. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate the effectiveness of AI on improving mathematics performance in K-12 classrooms compared to traditional classroom instruction. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched five databases from 2000 through December 2023, synthesizing findings from 21 relevant studies (40 samples) which met screening criteria. Results indicate a small overall effect size of 0.343 favoring AI under a random-effects model, showing a generally positive impact. Only one variable, AI type, was identified as having moderate effects, with AI demonstrating a greater impact when served as an intelligent tutoring system and adaptive learning system. Our findings establish an initial knowledge base for implementation and future research on the effective integration of AI into K–12 mathematics classrooms. This study also focuses on the appropriateness across age, mathematical contents, and AI design factors is aimed at further advancing the judicious adoption and success of classroom AI integration.

人工智能对 K-12 学生数学学习的影响：系统回顾与元分析

人工智能（AI）在改善数学教学方面显示出越来越大的潜力，但目前还缺乏有关其整体效果和影响成功因素的综合定量证据。与传统课堂教学相比，本系统综述和荟萃分析调查了人工智能在提高 K-12 课堂数学成绩方面的有效性。根据《系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目》指南，我们检索了从 2000 年到 2023 年 12 月的五个数据库，综合了符合筛选标准的 21 项相关研究（40 个样本）的结果。结果表明，在随机效应模型下，人工智能的总体效应大小为 0.343，显示出普遍的积极影响。只有一个变量，即人工智能类型，被认为具有中等程度的影响，当人工智能作为智能辅导系统和自适应学习系统时，其影响更大。我们的研究结果为人工智能有效融入 K-12 数学课堂的实施和未来研究奠定了初步的知识基础。本研究还关注了不同年龄、数学内容和人工智能设计因素之间的适宜性，旨在进一步推动人工智能课堂整合的明智采用和成功。

期刊介绍： The objective of this journal is to publish original, fully peer-reviewed articles on a variety of topics and research methods in both science and mathematics education. The journal welcomes articles that address common issues in mathematics and science education and cross-curricular dimensions more widely. Specific attention will be paid to manuscripts written by authors whose native language is not English and the editors have made arrangements for support in re-writing where appropriate. Contemporary educators highlight the importance of viewing knowledge as context-oriented and not limited to one domain. This concurs with current curriculum reforms worldwide for interdisciplinary and integrated curricula. Modern educational practice also focuses on the use of new technology in assisting instruction which may be easily implemented into such an integrated curriculum. The journal welcomes studies that explore science and mathematics education from different cultural perspectives.
