q2 i? Pearson correlations between GenAI usage sub-dimensions and perceived learning outcome sub-dimensions range from 0.106 to 0.418, and usage habits exhibit the strongest correlation with perceived learning outcomes. → Song Yafeng 2026

Evidence¶

Song Yafeng 2026¶

Song Yafeng, Zhao Kangjian, Li Li, Dong Wei. (2026). Research on the Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence Usage Behavior on the Learning Outcomes of Higher Vocational Students. Behavioral Sciences. https://doi.org/10.3390/bs16071166

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Pearson product-moment correlation analysis of all dimensional variables from the 1110-response survey. The article reports coefficients "from 0.106 to 0.418" and states the sets are interrelated but not highly coupled, with usage habits strongest; no single standardized effect size is printed for the habits correlation itself.

"The correlation coefficients range from 0.106 to 0.418, which indicates that the two sets of sub-dimensions are interrelated, however, they have not yet reached the level of high coupling. Among usage dimensions, usage habits exhibit the strongest correlation with perceived learning outcomes."
