Same PLS-SEM survey study (n = 548); the structural path from AI-TPACK to science teaching self-efficacy was significant with "β = 0.454, 95% CI [0.374, 0.533]". The article reports f² = 0.221, a medium effect.

"AI-TPACK significantly predicted science teaching self-efficacy (β = 0.454, 95% CI [0.374, 0.533]), supporting H2"
