OECD Links Screen Time Surge to Lowest Teen PISA Scores This Century
↗
Teen reading, math, and science scores on the PISA test have fallen to their lowest levels since 2000, with the OECD attributing the decline to increased screen time and digital distraction.
For engineers building educational technology, the PISA results are a warning that screen time and AI chatbots may be undermining learning outcomes. The data shows a 20-point science score gap for students who regularly use AI chatbots, roughly a year of learning, which should inform how AI tools are designed and deployed in classrooms.

PISA reading scores fell from 501 in 2012 to 466 last year, the lowest since 2000.
Students who regularly used AI chatbots for drafting and summarizing scored about 20 points lower in science.
The OECD linked weaker results to more screen time, less reading for pleasure, and digital distraction.
