q4 i? Interventions had a greater effect on retrospective confidence judgments (g = 0.30) than on judgments of learning (g = 0.15). → Noortje Janssen · Ard W. Lazonder 2024

Evidence¶

Noortje Janssen · Ard W. Lazonder 2024¶

Noortje Janssen · Ard W. Lazonder. (2024). Meta-analysis of Interventions for Monitoring Accuracy in Problem Solving. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-024-09936-4

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Exploratory moderator analysis of judgment type in the 35-study meta-analysis; Table 3 reports RCJ k = 25, g = 0.30 and JOL k = 10, g = 0.15. The judgment-type Q-test was nonsignificant (p = 0.245).

"Interventions were more effective for retrospective confidence judgments than judgments of learning, z = 2.03, p = 0.042, and studies conducted in laboratory settings had significantly higher effect sizes than classroom studies, z = 4.98, p < 0.001."

Related Claims¶

• Eliciting confidence ratings leads to poorer metacognitive monitoring in older adults — related
• A minority of item judgments show downregulation of confidence after pre-monitoring, suggesting differentiated evaluation can sometimes trigger more accurate monitoring — related
• Pre-monitoring and retrospective confidence judgments are highly consistent, with most agreement at the highest scale level regardless of correctness — related
• Monitoring accuracy interventions show larger effects in laboratory settings than in classroom settings, but classroom effects remain significantly positive — related
• Monitoring accuracy interventions are less effective for secondary school students than for elementary students and adults — related
• Interventions to improve monitoring accuracy in problem-solving tasks have a small positive overall effect (g = 0.25) — a broader claim this one bears on
• Timing interventions significantly decrease monitoring accuracy in problem-solving tasks and differ from all other intervention types — related
