q2 · i? · associational · r1

Latent class analysis on three indicator dimensions (devices, learning contexts, learning tasks) among 678 LLM learners. The four-class solution was selected based on log-likelihood (–10575.98), AIC (21397.96), and BIC (21953.82). Estimated class population shares were relatively balanced (23.8%–25.7%).

"We ran a LCA that resulted in four profiles of LLM learners based on their learning behaviors, task engagement, and digital environments."
