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? Children's metacognitive postdiction skills were related to their accuracy in mathematics during the whole elementary school period. → Desoete 2019
Evidence¶

q3 · i? · associational · r?
Longitudinal study testing Belgian children from Grade 1 till 6 in January and June. The abstract reports that "metacognitive postdiction skills of children were related to accuracy in mathematics" across the whole elementary period; no effect size is printed.
"The metacognitive postdiction skills of children were related to accuracy in mathematics during the whole elementary school period."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Metacognition — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Poor mathematics performers are less intrinsically motivated, less metacognitively accurate, and overestimate their performances more often than well-performing peers in all grades — related
- Children evaluated their own performance as worse when they were slower in Grades 3 and 4 — related
- Prior Knowledge Needed For Accurate Self Assessment — a broader claim this one bears on
- Test performance is the strongest predictor of local and global postdicted judgments after test taking — related
- Intrinsic motivation was related to mathematical accuracy but not to fluency in Grade 3 — related
- Mathematical accuracy and fluency have overlapping yet different predictors, supporting attention to both aspects in mathematics teaching — related
