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 i3 EAP educators showed significant pre- and post-program gains in ethical awareness with a large printed effect size (d = 0.93), alongside gains in digital andragogical competence. → Alharbi 2026

q2 · i3 · causal · r1
Quantitative pre- and post-program testing in the convergent mixed-methods study, measured with original instruments including a Scenario Rubric, Artefact Rubric, and engagement index. The article reports "significant gains in ethical awareness (d = 0.93)" and gains in digital andragogical competence, with high inter-rater reliability supporting the ratings.
"Quantitative results showed significant gains in ethical awareness (d = 0.93) and digital andragogical competence, supported by high inter-rater reliability."

Learner Variables¶
- Digital Literacy — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- College leaders identify educator unfamiliarity with GenAI, lack of training infrastructure, and institutional unpreparedness as key challenges — related
- A majority of surveyed students want institutional training on professional and ethical AI tool use — related
- SDT-driven activity system redesign in Cycle 2 produced significant pre-post gains in AI-TPACK (d = 0.70), IPACK (d = 0.86), and AI attitude (d = 0.58) — related
- Students rate their ethical awareness of AI higher than instructors, while instructors report stronger willingness to experiment with AI tools and higher behavioural intention — related
- Behavioural intention to use GenAI tools significantly predicts in-service teachers' self-reported pedagogical digital competence for curriculum planning — related
- Largest professional development gains occur in practical application (+27%) and critical evaluation (+26%), with ethical awareness showing the smallest gain (+18%) — reports the opposite
- All participants intended to continue integrating AI into teaching and to recommend the institute, and 70% had already begun implementing AI-enhanced tools or assignments — related
- Instructors' moral awareness and intention grow parallel with institutional and social support — related
