Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Attitude of use has a significant positive effect on behavioural intention to integrate GenAI tools, with a large effect size. → Guillén-Gámez 2026

Evidence¶

Guillén-Gámez 2026¶

Guillén-Gámez, F. D., Tomczyk, Ł., Habibi, A., & Díaz Vargas, B. L. (2026). Transforming curriculum design with generative AI: a model for assessing teacher digital competence. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-026-10647-6

q2 · i3 · associational · r1

PLS-SEM path analysis in the 434-teacher sample. The AOU→BI path was significant with printed path coefficient β = 0.541 and f² = 0.351, which the article classifies at the large-effect threshold, reinforcing the TAM postulate that attitude drives intentional behaviour.

"The results obtained from the PLS-SEM analysis confirmed a significant relationship between both factors (β = 0.541, t = 7.611, p <.05), thus supporting hypothesis H11."
