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? Bootstrap mediation analyses found no significant indirect effect of rubric via perceived difficulty on absolute accuracy or bias. → Rebecca Krebs 2022
Evidence¶
Rebecca Krebs 2022¶
Rebecca Krebs, Björn Rothstein, Julian Roelle. (2022). Rubrics enhance accuracy and reduce cognitive load in self-assessment. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-022-09302-1
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Exploratory mediation analyses with 95% percentile bootstrap confidence intervals from 10,000 bootstrap samples (SPSS PROCESS). "zero was included in the confidence intervals" for both outcomes.
"Neither in terms of the effect on absolute accuracy, nor in terms of the effect on bias, did we find a statistically significant indirect effect via perceived difficulty (i.e., zero was included in the confidence intervals)"
