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.
q2 i? Across four samples, sophisticated and highly sophisticated profiles consistently showed above-average CVS estimates while absolutistic profiles always showed below-average estimates. → Julia Schiefer 2022

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Descriptive analysis of CVS covariate means across profiles in four samples (Fig. 4). The sophisticated profile consistently showed above-average means; the highly sophisticated and intermediate profiles clearly showed above-average estimates in three samples.
"Overall, these results point to a positive relation between the level of sophistication of the epistemic belief profiles and the understanding of the CVS."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Epistemic Beliefs — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Relations between epistemic belief profiles and cognitive abilities are inconsistent across profiles and samples, though results point to above-average cognitive abilities in sophisticated profiles — related
- A positive relation exists between the level of sophistication of epistemic belief profiles and socioeconomic status, with profile z-score ranges from -0.25 to 0.45 — related
- Nonlinear epistemic belief profiles show a diverging pattern for science self-concept: multiplistic profiles score similarly or lower than absolutistic, while evidence-based profiles score similarly or higher than sophisticated — related
- Less sophisticated epistemic belief profiles are more prevalent in younger students and nonacademic tracks, while sophisticated profiles are more prevalent in academic tracks and higher grade levels — related
