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 i2 TBI participants achieved higher objective AI literacy performance than SBI participants (ηp2 = 0.138). → Yu S 2026

q3 · i2 · causal · r3
Two-way ANOVA in a randomized 2×2 between-subjects experiment with 320 undergraduates (80 per cell). The main effect of instructional approach was significant, F(1, 316) = 50.79, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.138, with TBI (M = 9.21) higher than SBI (M = 7.69).
"A two-way ANOV A (Ståhle and Wold, 1989) revealed a significant main effect of instructional approach on AI literacy performance, F(1, 316) = 50.79, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.138. Participants receiving TBI (M = 9.21, SD = 1.99) achieved higher performance than those receiving SBI (M = 7.69, SD = 2.05)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- AI literacy interventions show a large, statistically significant overall positive effect on student AI literacy outcomes (g = 0.837) — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- The instructional manipulation check confirmed that TBI and SBI videos were perceived as intended — related
- The TBI advantage over SBI is larger under open-ended tasks than under structured tasks — related
- Instructional approach operates indirectly through autonomy and competence, while task type operates primarily through autonomy — related
