Context

MATHia (formerly Cognitive Tutor) is one of the longest-standing intelligent tutoring systems, built on Carnegie Mellon cognitive-science research and paired with a classroom curriculum.

Objectives

To improve student mathematics achievement through an adaptive, cognitive-science-based intelligent tutoring system.

Results

The US What Works Clearinghouse reviewed dozens of studies and concluded the effects on maths achievement are 'mixed' under its rigorous standards — several studies show positive effects, at least one negative.

Conclusions

That candid, independently-reviewed record of mixed results is exactly the kind of transparent evidence Evidoria values, and MATHia is included as a mature, transparently-evaluated intelligent tutoring system.
