Subclaims¶

q2 i2 When teachers more often talked about cognitive strategy use, children less accurately differentiated incorrect from correct responses in restudy selections (β = −.24, p = .010). → Mariëtte H. van Loon 2021 q2 i? Teaching metacognitive strategies showed no significant effect on restudy effectiveness (β = −.16, p = .091). → Mariëtte H. van Loon 2021

Evidence¶

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 · i2 · associational · r2

Multilevel regression of strategy instruction on restudy effectiveness (Table 4b): cognitive strategy instructions β = −.24, p = .010; metacognitive strategy instructions β = −.16, p = .091; grade main effect β = −.42, p = .001 favoring fourth graders.

"the direction of this effect seems to indicate that when teachers more often talked about cognitive strategy use in the classroom, this was negatively related to the effectiveness of restudy, such that children less accurately differentiated between incorrect and correct responses when making restudy selections."

• Teacher-directed instruction is negatively related to children's restudy effectiveness and self-monitoring accuracy — related
• Teaching cognitive strategies is associated with more accurate self-monitoring, while metacognitive strategy instruction shows no relation — reports the opposite
• Effective restudy selection is the metacognitive skill that most distinguishes children's profiles — related
• Elementary teachers more often instruct cognitive strategies than metacognitive strategies during a standardized lesson — related
