Subclaims¶

q3 i? Mastery-approach goals showed no correlation with academic dishonesty among elementary students (r = -0.019), significantly different from the negative average in secondary students (r = -0.197). → Tanja Fritz 2023

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-regression of sample educational level on mastery-approach associations: elementary "r = –0.019" vs. secondary "r = –0.197"; tertiary correlations were weaker (r = –0.110) and not significantly different from elementary. Only two elementary effect sizes contributed.

"the two effect sizes for students in elementary school showed no correlation between mastery-approach goals and academic dishonesty ( r = –0.019, 95% CI = [–0.158, 0.121]), and w ere significantly different from the negative average correlations within secondary students ( r = –0.197, 95% CI = [–0.253, –0.172])"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
