1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

As the use of artificial intelligence in education increases, determining student readiness and anxiety has become a necessity; however, the lack of a measurement tool specific to biology education in the literature formed the basis of this study. This study aims to address this gap by developing a scale that can measure student readiness and anxiety about the use of artificial intelligence in biology teaching. This research employed an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design. First, new items were developed and an item pool created by gathering student opinions based on relevant concepts and literature reviews. Then, the prepared items were submitted to expert opinions, and after expert evaluations, validity and reliability tests of the scale were conducted using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). This study involved 322 students in the EFA phase and 300 students in the CFA phase, aged 18-22, studying biology in a province in eastern Turkey. The developed scale consisted of two factors and 15 items. The scale was developed as a 5-point Likert-type instrument ranging from 'Strongly Disagree' (1) to 'Strongly Agree' (5). According to the EFA results, the cumulative variance ratio was determined to be 73.084%. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as 0.95. The CFA results revealed that the two-factor model had a sufficient fit, and the values χ²/df = 3.7, RMSEA = 0.08, CFI = 0.94, and NNFI (TLI) = 0.93 support the structural validity of the model. As a reliable and valid instrument, the SRAS-AIBT serves as a practical tool for educators to design AI-assisted biology lessons tailored to student needs, thereby contributing directly to the improvement of instructional methods in this rapidly evolving field.
