Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Academics highly endorsed foundational and evaluative items (1.1, 2.1, 3.1 at 91–94%) while create-level items bottomed out at item 7.4 at just 3%. → Oliveira 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Guttman chart analysis of the academic staff subgroup (n=34) from the cross-cohort endorsement data. The authors report foundational items "highly endorsed (1.1, 2.1, and 3.1 all at 91–94%)" while create-level items "bottoming out at item 7.4 ... at just 3%", a gradient consistent with Bloom's taxonomy.
"with the basic foundational items also highly endorsed (1.1, 2.1, and 3.1 all at 91–94%). Create-level items occupy the lowest tier, bottoming out at item 7.4 (“Customise genAI workflows”) at just 3%."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Students exhibit an inverted competence profile, endorsing creation-level GenAI tasks above several foundational items that would normally precede them — related
- Students hit a metacognitive ceiling, endorsing high-level creation more frequently than the hardest metacognitive and evaluative thresholds in their ordering — related
- Professional staff show a pragmatically compressed GenAI profile with high ethical awareness and the widest span of create-level endorsement of any cohort — related
- Item-difficulty orderings diverge across cohorts, with the weakest correlation between academics and students (r = 0.188) and no stable shared developmental hierarchy — related
