Understanding the Evidence Base on AI in K-12 Education - Stanford now has one-page briefs on AI and Student Learning | iGeneration - Humane Use of Technology in an AI world (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
AI tools are arriving in schools faster than research can evaluate them. Teachers are experimenting with new tools and districts are writing policies, all while students are already using AI both inside and outside the classroom. But for many education leaders, a basic question remains: What does rigorous research actually say about how AI affects teaching and learning? To help answer that question, we released a new report: The Evidence Base on AI in K-12: A 2026 Review. The report reviews the current research, focusing specifically on studies that convincingly estimate causal impact, meaning studies that can tell us whether an AI tool changed outcomes for students or educators.

Drawing on international case studies and expert insights, the report
 showcases innovative practices (e.g., student led tool selection,
robotics assisted social learning, peer supported AAC) and identifies
 systemic barriers (e.g., fragmented policy, limited teacher capacity,
inequitable provision).

A pushback is emerging against screen time in school and tech tools woven into education today, with some parents linking it to a range of woes, from waning student attention spans to data breaches that put student privacy at risk.
Elizabeth Aquino's curator insight, September 19, 6:25 PM
I believe the conversation around AI in education should focus on finding a healthy balance and using technology with a purpose, rather than completely banning it from the classroom.
