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? Among cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational strategic behaviours, only metacognitive strategic behaviours significantly predicted children's task performance (t(124)=11.24, p<.001). → Heyi Zhang 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical multiple regression with bootstrap method on observational ratings from 130 Chinese kindergarten children's child-alone puzzle and origami tasks, controlling for child gender and age. The model was significant: "R2=.72, F (5, 124) =62.36, p<.001"; only metacognitive strategic behaviours significantly predicted performance (t(124)=11.24, p<.001).
"The overall regression model was significant, R2=.72, F (5, 124) =62.36, p<.001."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Girls showed more SRL strategic behaviours than boys but did not outperform boys on task performance; child age correlated with metacognitive, motivational behaviours and performance — related
- Metacognitive strategies correlate strongly with problem-solving skills, and behavioural metrics correlate with task performance — related
