Factors Influencing Students' Behavioral Intention to Continue Artificial Intelligence Learning
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly employed in education for enhancing teaching practices and meeting students' learning needs. A number of AI learning opportunities in K-12 and higher education continue to grow across the world. Yet, little research has been done to investigate K-12 students' behavioral intention to learn AI. This study, which involved a sample of 131 primary students, examined the factors that affect students' behavioral intention to engage in AI learning. The exploratory factor analysis was employed to validate a four-factor survey. The general factor model includes (i) AI literacy, (ii) confidence in AI, (iii) AI for social good, and (iv) behavioral intention. The results showed that the first 3 factors were positively associated with the last factor. Students perceive the purpose of learning AI for social good as the most powerful predictor for their behavioral intention.

Although articles showed slight variations on the definition of AI literacy, they support the notion that everyone, especially K-12 children, acquire basic AI knowledge and abilities, enhance motivation for future career, as well as use AI-enabled technology.
“Overall, although these articles showed slight variations on the definition of AI literacy, they support the notion that everyone, especially K-12 children, acquire basic AI knowledge and abilities, enhance motivation for future career, as well as use AI-enabled technology (Chai, Lin, et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
