Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

The review reports, citing Yuensook et al. (2025), a synthesis of AI-driven adaptive learning systems in higher education finding "academic per - formance gains of 15–25%" and engagement improvements of up to 40%. These are second-hand percentages, not effect sizes, and the review notes methodological limitations temper causal claims.
"Yuensook et al. (2025), in their systematic review of AI-driven adaptive learning systems in higher education, report academic per - formance gains of 15–25% and improved learner engagement of up to 40% across the studies included in their synthesis."
