q2 i? The review found no basis for treating ITSs as uniformly effective; reported benefits varied across multiple design, learner, and contextual factors. → Ogunsakin IB 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative synthesis across the review's 20 retained publications, organised by a mechanism-outcome-context logic. The authors state they "found no basis for treating ITSs as uniformly effective" and list the moderating factors; no pooled effect sizes were computed because designs and measures differed.

"However, we found no basis for treating ITSs as uniformly effective. Reported benefits varied according to system design, mathematical domain, learner characteristics, intervention intensity, outcome measurement, teacher mediation, and implementation context."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Domain Context — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
