Study Reveals Strong Link Between Positive AI Attitudes and Digital Literacy in Sports Science Students
A recent study explored the relationship between sports science students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) and their digital literacy levels. The research, which utilized a correlational survey design, involved 543 undergraduate students from various universities. Findings indicate a significant positive association between positive attitudes towards AI and higher digital literacy skills. Specifically, as students' positive perceptions of AI increased, so did their ability to understand, evaluate, and effectively use digital content.
