Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 Perceived adaptability significantly predicted self-efficacy (β = 0.54) and participation (β = 0.36), aspirations (β = 0.16), and enjoyment (β = 0.33). → Martin Andrew J. 2023
Evidence¶
Martin Andrew J. 2023¶
Martin Andrew J., Ginns Paul, Collie Rebecca J. (2023). University students in COVID-19 lockdown: The role of adaptability and fluid reasoning in supporting their academic motivation and engagement. Learning and Instruction. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2022.101712
q3 · i3 · associational · r2
In the same fully-forward SEM of 500 students, adaptability (Adaptability Scale – Short, self-reported) significantly predicted self-efficacy ("β = 0.54, p ≤ .001; large effect") and had direct paths to all three engagement dimensions, beyond lockdown, fluid reasoning, and covariates. The authors call it "the most salient factor in the model", though it did not carry the model's largest path: self-efficacy's path to aspirations was larger (β = 0.73). The data were cross-sectional, so these paths are associations, not evidence that adaptability causes the outcomes.
"Perceived adaptability significantly predicted self-efficacy (β = 0.54, p ≤ .001; large effect)—and also participation (β = 0.36, p ≤ .001; large effect), aspirations (β = 0.16, p = .04; medium effect), and enjoyment (β = 0.33, p ≤ .001; large effect)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Self-efficacy significantly predicted engagement and inversely predicted disengagement, and mediated adaptability's links to outcomes — related
- Fluid reasoning significantly predicted enjoyment but not self-efficacy after accounting for adaptability and covariates — related
- Lockdown was significantly associated with higher disengagement (β = 0.12) but not with self-efficacy among university students — related
