The count

Gains: 24
Traces: 4
Problems: 1

A Trace is one record with both a gain and a problem, so it counts on both sides: 28 records show a gain and 5 show a problem. 15 context records are in the record list but not counted, because they report no measured gain or problem.

How strong the evidence is

Evidence	Gain side	Problem side
HighStrong study design, backed by at least two independent sources	2	0

By type of evidence: 6 observational studies; 6 randomized trials; 5 surveys; 5 controlled comparisons; 4 systematic reviews or meta-analyses; 1 interview study; 1 case report; 1 commentary or narrative review. How evidence is scored

Strongest gains

Chinese English learners taught with robots reported higher class engagement in a 155-student randomized trial
In a four-month randomized trial, 75 Chinese English learners taught with robots scored significantly higher on questionnaires of classroom engagement and willingness to attend classes than 80 controls.
Randomized controlled trial · Evidence: High · 100/100 · TRV-2026-0200
AI-aided teaching tied to stronger math language skills in 360 Ghana students, but only a snapshot
Among 360 senior high school students in Ghana, AI-enhanced teaching was linked to higher mathematical language proficiency, partly through better digital literacy and learning engagement.
Observational study · Evidence: High · 76/100 · TRV-2026-0180
853 university students said AI is a valuable math tool when they know how to use it
Among 853 university students in Melilla, Ceuta and Granada, students said AI is a valuable tool for learning mathematics when they know how to use it.

Strongest problems

Brain-signal learning tools spot mental effort better, but a review finds they can't scale yet
A review of 103 papers found brain-signal adaptive learning systems are not yet deployable at scale, with unresolved data privacy and security risks, algorithmic bias, and unequal access.
Systematic review or meta-analysis · Evidence: Moderate · 70/100 · TRV-2026-0542
AI-made thyroid eye videos taught residents as well as teacher-made ones, but gains faded in a week
The AI-assisted videos still needed expert oversight and saved no production time, and the AI-assisted group's score gain was not significant at one week (p = 0.16).
Randomized controlled trial · Evidence: Moderate · 70/100 · TRV-2026-2174
AI tied to more engagement in multilingual classes but bias risks, a 40-article review found
A review of 40 articles flags unresolved risks in multilingual education: data privacy, algorithmic bias, unequal access, and a loss of relational and cultural aspects of teaching, which it calls an empathy gap.
Systematic review or meta-analysis · Evidence: Moderate · 70/100 · TRV-2026-0423
