Evidence¶

Desoete 2019¶

Desoete, A., Baten, E., Vercaemst, V., De Busschere, A., Baudonck, M., & Vanhaeke, J. (2019). Metacognition and motivation as predictors for mathematics performance of Belgian elementary school children. ZDM Mathematics Education, 51, 667–677. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11858-018-01020-w

q3 · i? · associational · r?

Grade 3 data from the longitudinal Belgian sample tested in January and June. The abstract reports intrinsic motivation related to accuracy but not fluency; no effect size or test statistic is printed.

"Intrinsic motivation was related to accuracy but not to fluency in Grade 3."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Mathematical accuracy and fluency have overlapping yet different predictors, supporting attention to both aspects in mathematics teaching — a broader claim this one bears on
• Poor mathematics performers are less intrinsically motivated, less metacognitively accurate, and overestimate their performances more often than well-performing peers in all grades — related
• Metacognitive postdiction skills are related to mathematical accuracy throughout the whole elementary school period (Grades 1–6) — related
• Intrinsic math motivation is positively correlated with arithmetic skills and negatively correlated with explicitly measured math anxiety in sixth graders — related
