Subclaims¶

q3 i? Declarative metacognitive knowledge did not differ between versions at T1 (d = 0.16) or T2; the only detectable effect was a decline over time (η 2 p = .045). → Lisi Wang 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Mixed ANOVA on declarative metacognitive knowledge (belief that retrieval practice beats rereading) across both sessions. Both versions taught this content, and knowledge 'decreased over time, regardless of the intervention version'; at T1 the version difference was d = 0.16, not significant.

"The only statistically detectable effect was the main effect of time point, F (1, 278) = 13.14, p < .001, η 2 p = .045. Participants' declarative metacognitive knowledge decreased over time, regardless of the intervention version they received"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Metacognition — outcome: instruction changes it
