Dual Perspective Assessment of the Development Level and Characteristics of Intelligent Educational Software in China

While the market offers a wide variety of intelligent educational software, inconsistent quality often prevents these tools from effectively meeting practical teaching needs. This makes it difficult for educators to determine the suitability of specific software for their classrooms. To address this challenge, this study developed a set of evaluation indicators for intelligent educational software used in primary and secondary schools. These indicators were established through market research, literature review, and feedback from both subject experts and teachers. By comparing and analyzing evaluations of commonly used software from both teachers and educational technology experts, this study aims to understand the current development level and characteristics of intelligent educational software in China. Initial findings reveal that while such software demonstrates strong performance in certain educational scenarios, it falls short in others. Interestingly, there are subtle differences in how teachers and education professionals perceive the software’s effectiveness in specific teaching contexts.
