Subclaims¶

q2 i1 Perceived usefulness significantly predicts attitude of use and behavioural intention, and perceived ease of use significantly predicts attitude of use and perceived usefulness, with small effect sizes except PEOU→PU. → Guillén-Gámez 2026

Evidence¶

Guillén-Gámez 2026¶

Guillén-Gámez, F. D., Tomczyk, Ł., Habibi, A., & Díaz Vargas, B. L. (2026). Transforming curriculum design with generative AI: a model for assessing teacher digital competence. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-026-10647-6

q2 · i1 · associational · r1

PLS-SEM analysis in the 434-teacher sample testing H1–H4. PU→AOU (β = 0.178, f² = 0.032), PU→BI (β = 0.171, f² = 0.038) and PEOU→AOU (β = 0.158, f² = 0.029) showed small effects; PEOU→PU (f² = 0.158) approached a medium effect.

"The results obtained through the PLS-SEM analysis confirmed a substantial relationship between both factors, supporting both hypothesis H3 (β = 0.158, t-value = 2.283, p <.05) and hypothesis H4 (β = 0.384, t-value = 5.366, p <.05)."
