Subclaims¶

q2 i? In a Delphi survey of 70 international experts, AI-related competences for learners and educators received the highest mean Impact rating (M = 8.57) and the highest Importance rating (M = 8.64), with a positive priority indicator despite high perceived challenge. → Rwitajit Majumdar 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Delphi survey phase in which 70 international experts rated 15 AI-in-education themes on importance, impact, and challenges (1–10 scale). The article reports the competence theme as highest-rated: "AI-related competences for learners and educators (M = 8.57)" for Impact and M = 8.64 for Importance.

"The highest-rated theme in terms of Impact was AI-related competences for learners and educators (M = 8.57), which also emerged as the most Important (M = 8.64). Although it was perceived as relatively challenging (M = 7.49), it still held a positive priority indicator"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Experts rated overall importance of AI in education higher than impact and challenge, but the differences were not statistically significant — a broader claim this one bears on
• Explainability/trustworthiness and accessibility/equal access of AI agents rank prominently in impact and importance but carry high challenge ratings — related
• Evolved teacher roles with AI agents rank high in impact but are rated among the most challenging themes, with a negative priority indicator — related
• Automated formative assessment and feedback with AI agents ranks second-highest in impact with moderate perceived challenge — related
• Monte Carlo simulation confirms weight and score stability of the expert-derived priorities under judgment perturbation — related
