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.
q3 i? Self-regulated learning positively influences effective AI use. → Gao L 2026
q3 i? Critical AI evaluation positively influences effective AI use. → Gao L 2026

Gao L 2026¶
Gao L, Sun Y and Khan SU (2026) From enhancement to over-reliance: a mixed-method study of generative AI and sustainable learning performance. Front. Psychol. 17:1847369. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1847369
q3 · i? · associational · r?
PLS-SEM analysis of the three-wave matched sample (n = 623) tested the hypothesized structural paths; the abstract reports that critical AI evaluation "along with self-regulated learning, promotes effective AI use". No path coefficients are printed in the available text.
"The findings reveal that AI literacy significantly enhances critical AI evaluation, which, along with self-regulated learning, promotes effective AI use."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Self-Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
