I'm studying how digital literacy and creative thinking disposition influence academic performance in pre-service visual arts teachers in Ghana, with Generative AI literacy as a mediator. I would appreciate guidance on formulating clear research objectives for this type of study. Specifically, how should I structure objectives to assess the impact of digital literacy and creative thinking on academic outcomes while considering GenAI literacy's mediating role? Any advice on key areas to focus on or approaches to ensure the study effectively captures these relationships would be helpful
