q2 i? In a factorial experiment with high school biology students, both practicing calibration in group settings and using guidelines to gauge judgments promoted calibration accuracy and achievement. → Bol L and Hacker DJ 2012

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

Factorial experiment (Bol et al., 2012) with high school biology students crossing group versus individual calibration practice with guideline use. The article reports "both group settings and guidelines to be effective in promoting calibration accuracy and achievement"; no effect sizes are printed.

"In our recent factorial experiment with high school biology students (Bol et al., 2012), half of the students practiced calibration in groups while the other half practiced calibration individually. The second treatment variable was whether students used guidelines to gage their judgments of how well they mastered the content. We found both group settings and guidelines to be effective in promoting calibration accuracy and achievement."
