Study 3 pre-post dimension analysis (n=36). Table 5: practical application 45(20) to 72(16), d = 1.48; critical evaluation 42(19) to 68(15), d = 1.49; ethical awareness 67(15) to 85(11), d = 1.33; all p < .001.

"The largest gains occurred in practical application (+27%) and critical evaluation (+26%), dimensions corresponding to Levels 2 and 3 of the theoretical framework."

Related Claims¶

• Iterative coding of 27 AIL sources yields seven dimensions, with technical, application and critical-thinking dimensions most frequent and legal/regulatory knowledge rarest — related
• A GenAI-integrated professional development program produced significant pre-to-post gains in EAP educators' ethical awareness (d = 0.93) and digital andragogical competence — reports the opposite
• Learning gains were highest for students whose background knowledge was lowest at pre-test — related
• A professional development masterclass produces a 24% overall improvement in educators' AI utilization competence with large effect sizes — a broader claim this one bears on
