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? A significant difference in performance goal orientation was found in favour of females (F=5,76, p=,01); entity, incremental and learning goal orientation showed no significant gender differences. → Beyaztaş 2017
Evidence¶
Beyaztaş 2017¶
Beyaztaş, D. İ., Kaptı, S. B., & Hymer, B. (2017). The Relationship between Student Teachers' Perception of Intelligence and Their Goal Orientation. Universal Journal of Educational Research 5(9): 1519-1528. https://doi.org/10.13189/ujer.2017.050909
q2 · i? · associational · r2
MANOVA by gender (831 female, 578 male). Table 9 shows PGO F=5,76, p=,01, while entity (p=,23), incremental (p=,43) and LGO (p=,14) were not significant. The authors suggest gender stereotype in traditional Turkish culture as a possible factor.
"When the performance goal orientation scores were taken into account, a significant difference was found in favour of females."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
