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 i2 In Experiment 1, a significant main effect of prompted cue type on absolute self-assessment accuracy favored performance-based over explanation-based cues, with printed effect size ηp2 = 0.05. → Waldeyer 2024

q3 · i2 · causal · r3
Experiment 1, a 2 × 2 between-subjects ANOVA with N = 129 university students learning urn-model problems from worked examples. The main effect of prompted cue type was significant, F(1, 125) = 6.45, p = 0.012, with the printed effect size ηp2 = 0.05 favoring performance-based cues. The performance-based-cue-before condition showed lower absolute accuracy error (224.81) than the explanation-based counterpart (702.52).
"We found a statistically significant main effect of prompted cue type, F(1, 125) = 6.45, p = 0.012, ηp2 = 0.05. The groups that were prompted to utilize performance-based cues showed better self-assessment accuracy (i.e., values closer to zero)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Prompted cue type and timing of cue prompt do not interact in their effect on self-assessment accuracy (Experiment 1) — related
- Informing learners about the to-be-monitored cue before the problem-solving phase improves self-assessment accuracy compared with informing them only afterwards — related
- Effortful generative learning activities during problem-solving example study provide cues that improve students' item-level self-monitoring accuracy — related
