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? In the sample, 77.7% of participants engaged with AI tools at least several times per week (27.5% daily, 50.2% weekly), with ChatGPT the predominant tool across all four institutions. → İsmail Şan and Hanife Gülhan Orhan Karsak 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Self-reported AI tool use frequency on an ordinal scale in the demographic questionnaire (N = 436): 120 daily users (27.5%) and 219 weekly users (50.2%), so "a total of 77.7% of the sample engaged with AI tools at least several times per week". ChatGPT was the predominant application across all four institutions; no effect size is printed.
"This indicates that a total of 77.7% of the sample engaged with AI tools at least several times per week."
