Subclaims¶

q3 i? Self-efficacy mediates the AIGC affordance → learning motivation path (indirect β = 0.329, significant). → Liang 2026 q3 i? Self-efficacy mediates the AIGC affordance → SRL path (indirect β = 0.145, significant). → Liang 2026 q3 i? The serial path AIGC affordance → self-efficacy → learning motivation → SRL is significant (indirect β = 0.173). → Liang 2026

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Bootstrapping mediation analysis (10,000 subsamples, bias-corrected 95% CIs) in the same 689-student survey. Table 9 prints significant indirect effects AFS→SEF→LM (0.329), AFS→SEF→SRL (0.145), and the serial AFS→SEF→LM→SRL path (0.173); the AFS→LM→SRL indirect effect was not significant.

"the results indicate AIGC self-efficacy mediates the influences of support for AIGC affordance on learn motivation and student self-regulated learning."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
• Self-Regulation — outcome: instruction changes it
• Self-Efficacy — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Perceived AIGC affordance enhances AIGC self-efficacy and directly predicts self-regulated learning in IEI undergraduates — related
• Feedback quality influences SRL only indirectly through learning motivation, not through self-efficacy or satisfaction — related
• AIGC feedback quality predicts satisfaction but not self-efficacy, and satisfaction does not predict self-regulated learning — related
• The serial mediation model explains 32.5–37.0% of variance in AI-TPACK, self-efficacy, and AI integration intention — related
• AI literacy relates to AI integration intention through a serial indirect pathway via AI-TPACK and science teaching self-efficacy — related
• Cognitive load mediates the effect of personalized paths on learning outcomes, with motivation and self-efficacy as complementary mediators — a narrower finding that bears on this claim

• Social and organizational support relate to AI well-being indirectly through AI literacy and technological self-efficacy — related
• Recurring mechanism clusters — self-regulation, metacognition, critical thinking, self-efficacy, trust, feedback literacy, AI literacy — link GenAI use to agency outcomes — related
• Learners perceive AI applications as useful for regulating their learning but not for regulating motivation — related
• GenAI literacy is positively associated with GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors among special education undergraduates — related
• Trust in AI and academic self-efficacy serially mediate the literacy-to-continued-use association (literacy → trust → self-efficacy → use) — related
• Challenge emotions mediate the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors, with a relatively small indirect effect — related
