q3 i? The intercept of MCK was significantly and positively correlated with both the intercept and the slope of VK breadth in the Han parallel development model. → Mark Feng Teng 2024

Mark Feng Teng, Lawrence Jun Zhang. (2024). Ethnic minority multilingual young learners' longitudinal development of metacognitive knowledge and breadth of vocabulary knowledge. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-023-09360-z

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Parallel development LGC model (MCK quadratic, VK linear) fitted to Han students' data with bootstrapped GLS fit indices; the model fit the data well per Hu and Bentler cutoffs. The MCK intercept significantly covaried with the VK intercept and slope; no standardized effect size is printed.

"As shown in Fig. 2 and Table 9, there is a significant positive correlation between the intercept of MCK and the intercept and slope of VK breadth. This is evidence that the higher the starting point for MCK is, the higher the starting point and the faster the growth rate for VK breadth in Han students."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• In Yao students, metacognitive knowledge and vocabulary breadth showed a common growth trend: higher initial MCK predicted higher initial VK, and faster MCK growth predicted faster VK growth — related
• Han students significantly outperformed Yao students in breadth of English vocabulary knowledge, with a significant time-by-group interaction in development patterns — related
• For Yao students, both metacognitive knowledge and vocabulary breadth were best described by linear growth models with significant intercepts and slopes — related
• For Han students, metacognitive knowledge followed a quadratic (accelerating) growth model while vocabulary breadth followed a linear growth model, and initially high vocabulary knowledge predicted faster later vocabulary growth — related
• Han students' metacognitive knowledge scores were significantly higher than Yao students' at each of four annual measurements from grade 3 to grade 6 — related
• Initial proficiency in one domain positively predicted growth in the other domain: math quartile predicted reading slope and reading quartile predicted math slope — related
