q2 i3 Teachers' behavioural intention to integrate GenAI tools has a significant positive effect on their self-reported digital competence for planning GenAI use in curriculum design. → 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 · r2

PLS-SEM analysis of survey data from 434 in-service teachers in the Dominican Republic testing the extended TAM structural model. The path from behavioural intention to digital competence was significant (β = 0.479, f² = 0.298, a large effect by the article's 0.35 threshold, "close to the threshold considered large"), with DC reaching an R² of 0.230, "considered a weak level".

"Finally, the relationship between teachers' behavioural intentions to integrate these emerging tools into the educational process and their digital competencies was significant, thus corroborating hypothesis H12 (β = 0.479, t-value = 10.226, p <.05)."
