IRCT20260815070657N1 IRCT 2026-08-28 Islamic Azad University Investigating the impact of artificial intelligence in reducing stress, anxiety, and increasing skills Investigating the impact of artificial intelligence in reducing stress, anxiety, and increasing students' skills 2026-09-21 anticipated 30 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/92559 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: In this study, simple randomization method is used to assign female high school students in Izeh city to two experimental and control groups. The randomization unit in this study is female high school students who meet the conditions for entering the study and have given their informed consent and that of their parents or legal guardians to participate in the study. First, a complete list of volunteer students who have been selected based on the study entry criteria is prepared. Then, each participant is assigned a unique numerical identification code. These codes are entered into the Random Number Generator software and a random number is generated for each student. After generating these numbers, the participants are sorted in ascending order based on the value of the random number. Then, individuals are assigned to two groups; sequentially, half of the students on the list are assigned to the experimental group and the other half to the control group, Blinding description: In order to control bias and improve the internal validity of the research, this study was designed with a double-blind protocol; in this way, the outcome assessor (the one who measures the variables of stress, anxiety, and math skills) and the data analyst will be kept unaware of the allocation of female high school students in Izeh city to the experimental and control groups. In this process, the outcome assessor will administer stress, math anxiety, and math skills performance tests at all stages of the pre-test and post-test, without knowing the assigned group of the participants, in order to prevent bias in the assessment; also, all raw data will be provided to the statistical analyst with anonymous codes (such as groups 1 and 2), and the true nature of the groups will not be revealed until the end of the data analysis process. All allocation steps will be performed by an independent person from the research team, and the decoding of the allocation codes will only be done after the final completion of the statistical analyses. N/A Anxiety problems of students in education. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Math lesson training sessions using artificial intelligence-based tools, based on the Rezaei educational package (1403), will be implemented in 8 90-minute sessions (one session per week) for students in the intervention group in groups. This training is designed to reduce students' stress and anxiety when facing math lessons and improve their learning skills, problem-solving, and academic performance. Artificial intelligence-based training is an interactive and personalized approach that facilitates the math learning process by providing explanations appropriate to the students' learning level, generating various examples and exercises, immediate feedback, identifying errors, and providing step-by-step guidance in solving problems. This approach helps students to gain a better understanding of concepts and solve problems with more confidence by receiving appropriate educational support and gradual practice, instead of experiencing confusion, avoidance, and anxiety when facing math problems. This intervention has main educational themes that lead to reducing the psychological stress caused by mathematics lessons and increasing students' mathematical skills; these themes include: familiarization with the educational application and responsible use of artificial intelligence tools, initial assessment of learning level and identification of weaknesses, interactive teaching of selected mathematical concepts, providing exercises tailored to each student's ability, teaching problem-solving steps, receiving immediate feedback and correcting common errors, practicing diverse and practical problems, strengthening logical thinking and self-confidence in solving problems, and finally reviewing, consolidating, and summarizing what has been learned. The main emphasis of this program is on transforming mathematical learning from an anxious and difficult experience to a gradual, understandable, participatory process that is tailored to the educational needs of students. Intervention 2: Control group: They will not receive any intervention or treatment and will receive education in the traditional way. No - There is not a plan to make this available Justification or reason for not sharing IPD is Participant data is completely confidential and I do not intend to publish it.
