HI Piotr! This is great to hear you are working on this. I haven't seen much about how wikipedia in the classroom influences "real world" outcomes for students and it is a much needed space for research to help make the case for the Education Program to school administration. I am aware that WikiEd is working on a project <https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/09/14/mr-8-2016/#more-9076> to learn more about classroom outcomes in the U.S., but I'm not sure how that is going. You can probably reach out to them for more information.
I am more than happy to help with the design of the questions.
