Subclaims¶

q2 i? The authors state that because the study was conducted in only one course at one university, the findings' applicability to other contexts is limited, and that the app's optional positioning may mean students who needed SRL support did not choose to use it. → Wong 2026

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• One-third of surveyed students never used the optional mobile study app at all — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The COVID-19 mandated shift to digital teaching created learning and performance contexts so different that the Philipsen et al. TPD-for-OBL framework's applicability may be limited — related
• For college students who can choose between online and in-person sections, taking a course online lowers grades both in that course and in future courses — related
