Resumen

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, AI literacy has emerged as a critical competence for university students. This study explores how AI-related educational experiences, frequency of AI tool usage, learning attitudes, and engagement influence students' AI literacy. Grounded in constructivist learning theory, data were collected from 330 undergraduates, master's, and doctoral students at three universities in Hebei Province, China. A quantitative approach was employed, with descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression conducted using SPSS to examine the proposed relationships. The results reveal that both learning attitude and engagement significantly and positively predict AI literacy, indicating that students with proactive mindsets and active participation tend to achieve higher proficiency. In contrast, usage frequency shows a negative association with AI literacy, suggesting that over-reliance on AI tools may hinder critical thinking and deeper understanding. These findings highlight the need for universities to strengthen AI-related courses, foster positive learning attitudes and engagement, and guide students in the appropriate use of AI tools. This study provides empirical evidence for the development of AI literacy and offers practical recommendations for curriculum design, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4: inclusive education.
