Subclaims¶

q2 i? In engineering, the less successful group showed 73.2% high-level focus MR versus 50.7% in the more successful group, which equally regulated both high and low levels. → Iiskala 2021

Significance of forms and foci of metacognitive regulation in collaborative science learning of less and more successful outcome groups in diverse contexts.

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Table 5 reports low-level MR at 26.8% (less successful) vs 49.3% (more successful) in engineering, described as "the more successful outcome group equally regulating both high and low levels of cognitive activity" while the less successful group showed "more high-level cognitive activity MR."

"The opposite was true for the American university engineering students, with the less successful outcome group showing evidence of more high-level cognitive activity MR, and the more successful outcome group equally regulating both high and low levels of cognitive activity."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• IMR occurred mainly in less successful outcome groups and was absent or rare in more successful outcome groups — related
• MR of less successful outcome groups focused more on low-level cognitive activity in Finnish high school and Australian veterinary contexts — related
• MOR comprised the majority of social MR turns in both less and more successful outcome groups in Finnish senior high school science — related
• In the engineering context, SSMR focus showed an opposite pattern to veterinary science: the less successful group had proportionally more SSMR-High than the more successful group — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• SSMR comprised the majority of social MR turns in both less and more successful outcome groups in Australian university veterinary science and American university engineering contexts — related
• VMSR occurred at low levels across all groups and contexts — related
• Contributions to socially shared metacognitive regulation were significantly higher in higher performing groups than in lower performing groups (reported finding) — related
