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? Programs grounded in metacognitive theory reported higher effect sizes for academic achievement than programs grounded in cognitive theories. → Theobald 2021

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator comparison of the programs' theoretical background across included studies: "training programs based on a metacognitive theoretical background reported higher effects sizes for academic achievement compared to training programs based on cognitive theories."
"training programs based on a metacognitive theoretical background reported higher effects sizes for academic achievement compared to training programs based on cognitive theories."
