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? Instructor guidance moderated learning outcomes (β = .23, t = 2.38, p = .018), prior experience affected ease of use (β = .19, t = 2.05, p = .042), and instructor endorsement contributed to perceived usefulness (β = .21, t = 2.17, p = .031). → Haifang Liu 2026
Evidence¶
Haifang Liu 2026¶
Haifang Liu. (2026). AI-enhanced legal pedagogy: a case study of generative AI integration in property law courses. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-026-10698-9
q2 · i? · causal · r2
Structural model paths from the same PLS-SEM analysis of 180 participants; the article prints β and t values for each path but no standardized effect sizes, so impact is null. Perceived ease of use also predicted perceived usefulness (β = .32, t = 2.91, p = .004).
"instructor guidance moderated learning outcomes (H5: β = .23, t = 2.38, p = .018), prior technology experience affected ease of use perceptions (H6: β = .19, t = 2.05, p = .042), and instructor endorsement contributed to perceived usefulness (H7: β = .21, t = 2.17, p = .031). This pattern of differential significance suggests that student-centered perceptual factors exert stronger influence than external contextual variables in GenAI acceptance"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Prior research identifies motivational, cognitive, affective, contextual, and ethical factors influencing GenAI adoption among instructors and students — a broader claim this one bears on
- Prior comparative evidence shows small intention–norm and intention–control associations and a TPB model significant in Thailand but not South Africa — related
