Subclaims¶

q2 i0 Bivariate correlations showed the expertise–reflexivity relationship was non-significant in the full sample (rs = .057), unlike the remaining competencies. → Olga Vogel 2024

Evidence¶

Olga Vogel 2024¶

Olga Vogel, Marcel Hunecke. (2024). Fostering knowledge integration through individual competencies: the impacts of perspective taking, reflexivity, analogical reasoning and tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-023-09653-5

q2 · i0 · associational · r2

Correlational analysis in the survey sample (Table 3 prints expertise–reflexivity rs = .057, n.s). The article interprets this null as supporting reflexivity as a meta-cognitive competence that is difficult for both novices and experts to learn and train.

"Correlative results revealed that, unlike the remaining competencies, experts do not exhibit higher levels of reflexivity than novices, supporting our assumption of reflexivity as a meta-cognitive competence (Keestra, 2017)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Prior Knowledge — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Expertise positively predicts knowledge integration, and the four competencies remain positively related to knowledge integration at different levels of expertise — reports the opposite
• The competency–knowledge integration relationships differ between scientific and economic samples: reflexivity is significant only in the scientific sample, while tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty and perspective taking are significant only in the economic sample — related
• Reflexivity, perspective taking, analogical reasoning, and tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty each positively relate to knowledge integration in inter- and transdisciplinary work — related
• Analogical reasoning and perspective taking are the strongest predictors of knowledge integration, followed by tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty and reflexivity — related
