Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are innovative computer programs designed to provide the best possible support and encouragement for individual student learning. What sets ITS apart

is that they not only take into account the subject matter knowledge of the respective domain but also consider the current level of knowledge of the students and incorporate suitable pedagogical measures. Despite extensive research in the field of ITS, there is a lack of studies that examine the use of ITS in real-world settings, such as assisting students with homework.

The goal of the project 'ITS in the wild' is, therefore, to develop ITS in a co-design approach with aspiring and practicing teachers and to deploy them in real-world settings with teachers and students. Specifically, the project aims to investigate both the conditions for success and challenges in the development and use of ITS for teachers. Additionally, it focuses on examining the impact of ITS on students' learning processes during homework and individual learning phases, as well as the perceived quality of instruction by the students.

The guiding belief is that through the co-design approach and collaboration between aspiring and practicing teachers, students, and researchers, along with innovative technologies, education can become more accessible and effective for all. The 'ITS in the wild' project aims to contribute to this goal.
