We've recently concluded a classroom study in Japan on our "Mindful Math" Tutor, an LLM-embedded ITS that uses mindful language and messages to guide students learn algebra while calming down their math anxiety. If interested in testing/using/collaborating let me know! tomonag.org/mindfulmath/

Just out in JLS! Our study shows how the Pattern, Agents, Interactions, Relations, and Causality (PAIR-C) framework, paired with agent-based simulations, boosts system thinking and reduces misconceptions in complex systems education. @tomonag.bsky.social
