Subclaims¶

q2 i1 Self-efficacy was significantly higher after free-recall than after short-answer retrieval practice, and the effect was mediated by participants' performance. → Tino Endres 2020

Evidence¶

Tino Endres 2020¶

Tino Endres, Lena Kranzdorf, Vivien Schneider, Alexander Renkl. (2020). It matters how to recall – task differences in retrieval practice. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-020-09526-1

q2 · i1 · causal · r2

In the 54-participant within-subject experiment, self-efficacy (five items, α = 0.904) was rated after each task type. Free-recall raised it more, printed effect size ƞ2 = 0.080 (small); a MEMORE within mediation showed an indirect effect via performance, B = 31.58, 95% CI [9.81, 62.55], with a non-significant direct path indicating complete mediation.

"Holistic recall raised self-efficacy more than targeted retrieval (F [1, 53] = 4.602, p = 0.037, ƞ2 = 0.080)."
