The method behind Teachrity: deliberate practice, problem-based learning and what we measured
Teachrity's method combines problem-based learning, active learning and deliberate practice: each scenario is a situation the learner must resolve, repeated with feedback. In Teachrity's own study of 65 students, knowledge retention was about 35% better within four weeks, and students improved more on re-attempting the same task.
Three ideas, deliberately combined
Problem-based learning sets a real situation to resolve. Active learning keeps the learner doing rather than watching. Deliberate practice adds focused repetition on a specific weakness with immediate feedback.
The cricket-nets idea
AI practice is the nets, human trainers are the coaches, and the live interaction is the match. Practice cannot replace coaching or the match, but without nets the match is the first attempt.
What the study found
In a study of 65 students run by Teachrity, retention of knowledge was around 35% better within four weeks, and students showed a stronger ability to improve on the same task when re-attempting it.
How to read it
This is the company's own study with a modest sample. It is an early signal, and independent studies with larger cohorts are the next step.
Why repetition with feedback
A single attempt shows what a learner can do on the day. A second attempt, straight after feedback, shows whether they can change. Improvement across attempts is the signal the research looks at.

Frequently asked questions
Is this peer-reviewed?+
No. It is Teachrity's own study. Treat it as an early indicator.
Why combine three methods?+
Each supplies a different part: a real situation, active doing and focused repetition.
Can institutions run their own evaluation?+
Yes. Cohort data supports a baseline-versus-practice comparison.
