After sequential screening, 30 records were retained for the contextual map. An expanded synonym audit was also performed to assess whether any direct history-education studies were missed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nine records explicitly identified mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan as the study setting, including five primary empirical studies. The synonym audit did not identify a direct history-education study in the repository. Targeted corroboration identified one 2025 mainland-China study of AI-assisted secondary-school history teaching, two systematic reviews describing broader history-education literature, and one adjacent cultural-heritage education study. In the regional subset, emotion\/anxiety\/cognitive-load outcomes were reported in five records, engagement in four, motivation and self-efficacy in three each, skills\/competence in six, and knowledge and performance in five each.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The repository should be interpreted as a contextual map of secondary evidence rather than a comprehensive estimate of the field.
