Shi, Liu, and Hu investigate associations among AI literacy, self-regulated learning, perceived writing performance, and well-being in generative-AI-supported higher education. Survey responses from 257 university students in China were analyzed with structural equation modeling.
Both AI literacy and self-regulated learning positively predicted students’ perceived writing performance, with self-regulation showing the stronger association. AI literacy also had a positive relationship with generative-AI-related well-being, and writing performance partially mediated that relationship. The model brings technological competence and strategic learning behavior together rather than treating tool knowledge as sufficient on its own. For teaching, the results support developing students’ ability to plan, monitor, and reflect while also teaching awareness, effective use, evaluation, and ethics of AI.
Important limits temper the findings: measures were self-reported, the writing-performance scale had modest reliability, the sample came from one national context, and the cross-sectional design cannot establish causal effects. The study therefore indicates relationships worth supporting and testing, not proof that AI literacy or AI use automatically improves writing or psychological well-being.
A transparent research trail
Each entry identifies the volume, edition, chapter or appendix in which the work appears.
Evidence summaries explain the central idea and why the source matters to educators.
Entries link to lawful full text where available, or to a publisher, library or purchase page.
References are checked against publisher records, scholarly indexes, DOI or ISBN metadata, repositories and author records where available. An entry marked [Citation not verified] preserves the wording found in the relevant volume without attributing findings to an unconfirmed work.
