Development and validation of the generative AI assessment literacy scale for higher education students: psychometric evidence and associations with feedback engagement and academic integrity

A new psychometric tool, the Generative AI Assessment Literacy Scale (GAA-LS), has been developed and validated to measure higher education students' capacity for responsible Generative AI (GenAI) use in assessment contexts. This tool aims to conceptualize and quantify students' literacy in an area where their engagement with GenAI for tasks like interpreting assignments, drafting, and revising is growing.

The increasing integration of Generative AI into educational and professional workflows necessitates robust methods for assessing responsible and ethical usage. This development provides a standardized metric to understand and potentially improve AI literacy, which is crucial for maintaining academic and professional integrity while leveraging new technologies.

The GAA-LS was developed to measure students' responsible use of GenAI within academic assessments.
