As digital platforms in education increasingly integrate generative AI, understanding their effectiveness and equipping teachers with the skills to use them are essential steps toward scalable, data-driven improvements in student learning. These technologies have the potential to enhance student engagement and transform teaching practices.
The Power of Feedback study evaluates the impact of an AI-powered mathematics tutor on student learning, using the OECD’s open-source Platform for Innovative Learning Assessments (PILA). It investigates how generative AI can support formative assessment and personalised learning, with the goal of improving student skills and enhancing teaching practices.
The study has four main objectives:
In 2025, a pilot study will be conducted before the main cross-national study in 2026.
The project team works with countries to oversee the intervention design and offer opportunities for peer learning.
