Abstract

This review, commissioned by the Royal Society, will examine the current state of the art developments in data science and machine learning within education, if they can be applied more broadly now, or in the future, and the impact they could have on transforming primary and secondary education in the UK. A sample of the total volume of research reviewed is directly referenced in the body of the report to help illustrate key issues. The full list of sources reviewed is included as the last section of the technical appendix. This appendix also provides further details on the systematic review process, important researchers in each sub-field, a list of current and recent research projects and existing tools, applications and products.
