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 i? More positive beliefs about science and more knowledge about how science works were associated with selecting fewer sources with personal experiences. → Cornelia Schoor 2024

Cornelia Schoor 2024¶
Cornelia Schoor, Jean-François Rouet, and M. Anne Britt (2024). Reading for University or for Myself? Effects of Context and Beliefs about Science on College Students' Document Selection. Journal of Educational Psychology, 116 (3), pp.317-345. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000849
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Association of the self-variables (explicit and implicit beliefs about science, scenario-based knowledge measure) with document selection in the generalized linear mixed models; the article reports they were "associated with a lower probability of selecting sources with personal experiences". No effect size for the association is printed in the available text.
"More positive beliefs about science as well as knowledge about how science works were associated with a lower probability of selecting sources with personal experiences."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Epistemic Beliefs — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
