Subclaims¶
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.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Elaboration showed no correlation with any of the three personal course goals (certification, completing assessments, completing lectures). → Kizilcec 2017

q3 · i? · associational · r2
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."
