Key Findings
First systematic review of AI in vocational education (26 studies, 2015-2026). Intelligent XR shows consistent positive effects on procedural competence; ITS foster declarative and procedural knowledge; AI chatbots support self-regulation. Only 5 randomized experimental studies found. Documents a paradox: constructivist theories are espoused but behaviorist AI implementations dominate. Warns against an educational 'Turing Trap' of replicating human instruction instead of augmenting human judgment.
