Affective Responses to AI Tutoring in Elementary Mathematics

This confirms what Ling’s team saw in the 4th grade pilot — AI tutors work well for confident learners but can increase anxiety for struggling students. The effect sizes are modest but the qualitative data is where it gets interesting. Students who reported higher anxiety also showed more off-task behavior in the AI condition, but not in the human tutor condition. Worth reading alongside the Xu Lab’s companion study on reading partners.
