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.
q2 i? Giving students the correct answer or solution procedure as a comparison standard while making monitoring judgments improves retrospective monitoring accuracy. → Tamara van Gog & Vincent Hoogerheide & Milou van Harsel 2020
