This work introduces AIriskEval-edu-db2, a new dataset designed to train and evaluate auditors based on LLMs for an explainable pedagogical risk assessment in instructional content for grades K-12. The dataset comprises 1,639 explanations from 170 curated ScienceQA questions, covering science, language arts, and social sciences.

SafeTutors is a benchmark designed to evaluate both safety and pedagogical effectiveness of AI tutoring systems across mathematics, physics, and chemistry. It introduces a risk taxonomy of 11 harm dimensions and 48 sub‑risks based on learning‑science literature, focusing on issues such as answer over‑disclosure, misconception reinforcement, and loss of scaffolding. The study finds that all tested models exhibit broad harms, that larger scale does not mitigate these issues, and that multi‑turn interactions significantly increase pedagogical failures from 17.7% to 77.8%.

arXiv:2607. 14315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for assessing the explainability of various XAI methods, such as LIME and SHAP, across multiple datasets and machine learning models, with the ultimate goal of creating a unified multidimensional explainability score.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used across diverse tasks in K-12 education, yet existing safety evaluations rarely examine how harmful or inappropriate content appears in interactions between LLMs and students or teachers. To address this, we present EduZone, an evaluation framework for LLM safety across diverse educational scenarios.

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly support science, but they can also convert hazardous scientific knowledge into actionable misuse guidance. Existing benchmarks often rely on templated queries disconnected from real-world hazards, and employ LLM-as-a-Judge paradigms without domain grounding.

arXiv:2606. 18372v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Educational dialogue is a valuable but sensitive resource for research: the same transcripts that capture authentic learning often capture personally identifiable information (PII) entangled with curricular content, where "Riemann" may refer to a real student or to a mathematical concept.
