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.
q2 i? Winne and Muis question the preference for the Goodman-Kruskall gamma coefficient over signal detection theory's d' by reviewing literature and empirically comparing the two calibration measures, and examine whether calibration varies across three domains of knowledge. → Gonny Schellings & Bernadette Van Hout-Wolters 2011

Gonny Schellings & Bernadette Van Hout-Wolters 2011¶
Gonny Schellings & Bernadette Van Hout-Wolters. (2011). Measuring strategy use with self-report instruments: theoretical and empirical considerations. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-011-9081-9
q2 · i? · review · r2
Overview of the special issue's final methodological contribution, in which participants received three knowledge tests and judged the correctness of each answer. The editorial describes the comparison of G and d' and the cross-domain question without reporting the outcome here.
"Winne and Muis question this by reviewing literature and by empirically comparing G and d '. Furthermore, they examine whether a learner 's calibration varies across three domains of knowledge."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- External validity of the special-issue strategy measures was mixed: low-to-moderate comprehension correlations for Bräten and Strømsø and Magliano et al., indeterminate for Schellings and Winne and Muis — related
- Elementary school children monitor and control their answers to open-ended text comprehension questions more accurately than answers to true-false questions — related
