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.
q2 i? Across three directly reported same-sample correlations, the pooled subjective-objective AI-literacy correlation was r = .055 with a 95% interval that includes zero, so self-ratings cannot substitute for performance scores. → Daniele Verí 2026
Evidence¶
Daniele Verí 2026¶
Daniele Verí. (2026). Beyond AI Literacy: A Structured Review and Exploratory Meta-Analysis of Measures for Competent Generative-AI Use. arXiv. https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.15624 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2609.15624
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1
Exploratory random-effects meta-analysis of three directly reported same-sample correlations (combined reported N = 2,765), all from one research program using the MAILS family as subjective comparator. The pooled r = .055 with a Hartung-Knapp interval of "[-.047, .156]" includes zero.
"The primary REML pooled correlation wasr =.055, with a Hartung-Knapp 95% interval of [-.047, .156] and a normal-theory interval of [.018, .092]."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Adding a cross-factor composite from a teacher study yields r = .079, still with an interval including zero, and latent profiles reveal over- and underestimation of competence — related
- Teachers' self-reported AI literacy correlates only weakly with their objectively measured performance (r = 0.07–0.24) — related
- Latent profile analysis of combined SR and OB factors identifies six distinct teacher profiles spanning overestimation, underestimation, and alignment — related
- Students' self-reported AI literacy was moderately negatively correlated with objectively measured AI competency, suggesting potential overestimation of AI abilities — related
- SR–OB profile patterns differ by prior AI literacy experience: overestimation appears only among experienced teachers and a low–low profile only among inexperienced teachers — related
