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.

q3 i? Growth mindset explained a significant 8% of additional variance in autonomous motivation during home-based learning after controlling for age, gender and pre-pandemic motivation. → Benneker 2023

Evidence¶

Benneker 2023¶

Benneker, I. M. B., Lee, N. C. & van Atteveldt, N. (2023). Mindset and perceived parental support of autonomy safeguard adolescents' autonomous motivation during COVID-19 home-based learning. npj Science of Learning 8:4. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-023-00153-2

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Stepwise regression on N = 97 adolescents; step 1 (age, gender, pre-measurement) explained 33% of variance and mindset added 8% in step 2. The quote reports "β = 0.24, t (92) = 2.16, p = 0.020"; no standardized effect size printed.

"a growth mindset contributed positively to autonomous motivation ( β = 0.24, t (92) = 2.16, p = 0.020 (c '))."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Mindset — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
