AI Tutors Need More Than Easy Access
EdSurge
EDITOR BRIEF
In a study across 18 Tennessee middle schools, nearly all students tried Khanmigo, but the median student used it on only a third of the days it was available, and math gains were modest. Khan Academy says the tutor needs to be built into learning activities so students can’t easily avoid the effort of working through problems.
INSIGHTS
When using an AI tutor, don’t just make it available: try requiring yourself to attempt a problem and explain your thinking before asking for help.
