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.

Spearman correlation analysis of SRL strategies against three personal course goals among goal-expressing learners in the 4,831-learner sample. "Self-evaluation and task strategies were predictive only of completing assessments and lectures, while elaboration was not at all correlated with goal attainment."
