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 i? The authors claim non-explicit teacher interventions encourage learners' self-awareness of the limitations of their current understanding, without prescribing a solution. → Mabotja 2018
Evidence¶
Mabotja 2018¶
Mabotja, S., Chuene, K., Maoto, S., & Kibirige, I. (2018). Tracking Grade 10 learners' geometric reasoning through folding back. Pythagoras, 39(1), a371. https://doi.org/10.4102/pythagoras.v39i1.371
q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
The authors' interpretive claim from the Summary, drawn from Extract 3 where the teacher's utterance in line 2.22 was not explicit but suggested to Lesiba that he had to rewrite an expression. It is an author interpretation, not a separately tested result.
"We therefore claimed that teachers' interventions that are not explicit encourage learners' self-awareness of the limitations of their current understanding, without prescribing a solution."

- Folding back to inner layers of understanding supported Grade 10 learners' geometric reasoning on proof tasks — related
- Explicit training in constraint-seeking questions showed only moderate, non-generalizing benefits, whereas prompting explanation supports better question asking — related
- Using the ePSRL Management System increases postgraduate online students' perceived awareness, understanding and application of self-regulated learning — related
