What is already known about this topic

 Artificial intelligence (AI)–supported instructional tools are increasingly used in STEM


education to personalize learning, provide adaptive feedback, and support problem-solving.

 Empirical studies examining the effectiveness of AI in STEM education report mixed and
sometimes contradictory findings.

 Prior research suggests that the impact of AI-supported instruction may vary depending on
factors such as educational level, subject domain, and instructional design.

What this paper adds

 This study provides a comprehensive meta-analytic synthesis of experimental and quasi-


experimental research on AI-supported instruction in STEM education.

 It quantifies the overall effect of AI-supported instructional interventions on student learning


outcomes, demonstrating a moderately to highly positive impact.

 The study identifies key moderating factors, showing that AI-supported instruction is most
effective at the high school level, particularly in Science and Mathematics, and when
implemented over longer durations.

 By systematically analyzing studies published over two decades, the findings offer robust,
evidence-based guidance for interpreting heterogeneous results in the existing literature.

Implications for practitioners

 Educators can expect meaningful learning gains when integrating AI-supported instructional
tools into STEM classrooms, particularly at the secondary education level.

 Practitioners should prioritize sustained and well-integrated AI interventions rather than


short-term or one-off implementations.

 STEM teachers, especially in Science and Mathematics, may benefit most from adopting AI-
supported instructional approaches that align with curricular goals.

 School leaders and policymakers should consider educational level, disciplinary context, and
duration of implementation when selecting and scaling AI-supported instructional
technologies.

 Professional development initiatives should focus on helping teachers effectively integrate AI


tools into pedagogical practices to maximize learning outcomes.
