Subclaims¶

q2 i? More teaching for cognitive strategies was related to better self-monitoring, as indicated by how strongly confidence judgments discriminated correct from incorrect responses. → Mariëtte H. van Loon 2021 q2 i? There was no effect of teaching metacognitive strategies on self-monitoring accuracy and no main effect of grade. → Mariëtte H. van Loon 2021

Evidence¶

Mariëtte H. van Loon 2021¶

Mariëtte H. van Loon, et al. (2021). Connecting teachers' classroom instructions with children's metacognition and learning in elementary school. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-020-09248-2

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Multilevel regression on self-monitoring accuracy (Table 4c) in the same 308-child sample. The article reports a significant effect of cognitive strategy teaching on confidence-judgment discrimination; the printed coefficient is β = −.25, p = .028, with no metacognitive instruction effect (β = −.12, p = .266).

"there was a significant effect of teaching cognitive strategies, such that more teaching for cognitive strategies was related to better self-monitoring, as indicated by the extent to which children's CJs discriminated between correct and incorrect performance."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• More frequent cognitive strategy instruction is negatively related to the effectiveness of children's restudy selections — reports the opposite
• Child-centered instruction positively predicts children's self-monitoring accuracy and, for second graders, restudy effectiveness — related
• Teacher-directed instruction is negatively related to children's restudy effectiveness and self-monitoring accuracy — related
• Pre-monitoring does not significantly improve children's relative monitoring accuracy (discrimination between correct and incorrect answers) — related
