Subclaims¶

q2 i1 Teachers’ perceived ease of use of AI-based technologies increased significantly from pre- to post-test following INSIGHT, with a small effect (d = −0.25 as printed). → Mesenhöller J and Böhme K 2026

q2 · i1 · design · r2

Paired-samples t-test on the SAELKIS PEOU subscale in the same pilot pre-post evaluation (N = 100). The article reports PEOU "increased significantly" with the printed statistics; pre-test PEOU was M = 2.85 (SD = .72), post-test M = 2.99 (SD = .58).

"PEOU also increased significantly, t(99) = −2.47, p = .015, mean difference = −0.13, 95% CI [−0.24, −0.03], d = −0.25, 95% CI [−0.45, −0.05]."
