Artificial Intelligence (AI) strongly influences our daily lives and work environments. To deal with the challenges as well to pick up on opportunities associated AI, university students need acquire a basic understanding of AI (so-called literacy). design effective study programs that foster competencies, it is necessary assess state students' literacy. While there already are some literacy tests available, many instruments focus specific courses, rely primarily self-assessment, or do not provide detailed psychometric information. This aims develop validate an test initial insights into current among German students. We present validated multiple-choice in higher education. The results suggest significant variance students, most showing fundamental AI. technical background prior experience imply for courses broader audience who use their will tools future careers.

Artificial Intelligence competencies will become increasingly important in the near future. Therefore, it is essential that AI literacy of individuals can be assessed a valid and reliable way. This study presents development "Scale for assessment non-experts' literacy" (SNAIL). An existing item set was distributed as an online questionnaire to heterogeneous group non-experts (i.e., without formal or computer science education). Based on data collected, exploratory factor analysis conducted investigate underlying latent structure. The results indicated three-factor model had best fit. individual factors reflected areas "Technical Understanding", "Critical Appraisal", "Practical Application". In addition, eight items from original were deleted based high intercorrelations low communalities reduce length questionnaire. final SNAIL-questionnaire consists 31 used assess specific groups also designed enable evaluation courses' teaching effectiveness.

Motivated by a holistic understanding of AI literacy, this work presents an interdisciplinary effort to make literacy measurable in comprehensive way, considering generic and domain-specific as well ethics. While many assessment tools have been developed the last 2-3 years, mostly form self-assessment scales less frequently knowledge-based assessments, previous approaches only accounted for one specific area competence, namely cognitive aspects within literacy. Considering demand development different professional domains reflecting on concept competence way that goes beyond mere conceptual knowledge, there is urgent need methods capture each three dimensions cognition, behavior, attitude. In addition, competencies ethics are becoming more apparent, which further calls very matter. This paper aims provide foundation upon future instruments can be built provides insights into what framework item might look like addresses both measures than just knowledge-related based approach.

However, there are few validated research instruments educators to examine how secondary students develop perceive their learning outcomes. After reviewing literature on questionnaires, we categorized identified competencies four dimensions: (1) affective (intrinsic motivation self‐efficacy/confidence), (2) behavioural (behavioural commitment collaboration), (3) cognitive (know understand; apply, evaluate create) (4) ethical learning. Then, a 32‐item self‐reported questionnaire (AILQ) was developed measure students' development dimensions. The design validation AILQ were examined through theoretical review, expert judgement, interview, pilot study first‐ second‐order confirmatory factor analysis.
