Evaluating the quality of evidence for intelligent tutoring systems in the tutoring of math for children aged 6 to 12 : a systematic review by Cheng, Janice Shu Hui, Lee, Keith Yong Wei

“…From these 14 studies, 4 of them showed “sufficient” evidence to support their findings on the incorporation of ITSs into mainstream classrooms, but went on to score poorly on other additional quality indicators. Our main findings are as follows: (a) there has been insufficient research conducted that focuses on ITS incorporation in primary school teaching frameworks for mathematics, and (b) the quality of evidence among the existing studies is severely lacking. …”
