Predictors of AI Literacy and Productivity: Instrument Development, Scaling and Validation

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy refers to the degree of knowledge, skills, and ability that a person needs to effectively develop, manage, and understand the capabilities of AI in a variety of fields, including education. These days, the idea of AI is gaining popularity and needs further study. Nevertheless, prior research indicates a lack of studies on AI literacy, particularly regarding its determinants and impacts. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish and validate an instrument that can determine AI literacy and its productivity. The study covered several stages of empirical phases and a content validity evaluation. A set of variables was chosen based on previous studies. Then, a pilot instrument was developed according to the variables chosen. Lastly, the instrument was validated using an expert review method. The reliability and face validity of potential responders were examined. Therefore, a valid instrument consisting of eight variables and forty-five items was developed.
