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 i0 Learning goals had a significant positive effect on subjective performance independent of actual performance (β = .12, p<.05). → Hastings 2011
Evidence¶
Hastings 2011¶
Hastings, E. C., & West, R. L. (2011). Goal orientation and self-efficacy in relation to memory in adulthood. Neuropsychology, Development, and Cognition. Section B, Aging, Neuropsychology and Cognition, 18(4), 471-493. https://doi.org/10.1080/13825585.2011.575926
q2 · i0 · associational · r2
Final SEM path; subjective performance was also positively predicted by actual memory performance (β= .56, p<.01), and the model explained 33.6% of its variance.
"Learning goals also had a significant effect on subjective performance independent of actual performance (β= .12, p<.05)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- In a cross-sectional model of adults, memory self-efficacy is positively associated with memory performance and carries a significant indirect path from learning goals and a marginal one (p = .07) from performance goals — related
- Summary traces preserved task performance at the answer-only baseline while elevating subjective appraisal — related
- Self-reports of achievement goal orientations diverge markedly from traced goal orientations, which predict reading achievement while self-reports do not — related
