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? Model-predicted probability of selecting an advanced mathematics course rose 16% when mathematics self-concept increased 1 SD above the mean, and fell 6% when German self-concept rose 1 SD. → Jansen 2020

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Illustrative analysis of model-predicted probabilities over predictor values (Figure 2), with other predictors set to zero (means or reference groups). The article reports the 16% increase for mathematics self-concept and, contrarily, a 6% decrease in probability of selecting advanced mathematics for a 1-SD increase in German self-concept.
"for an increase in mathematics self-concept from the mean to one standard deviation above the mean (+1 SD), the predicted probability of selecting an advanced mathematics course increased by 16%"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Academic Self-Concept — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Domain-specific academic self-concept predicts advanced course choice, whereas value predicts STEM study intentions — a broader claim this one bears on
- Valuing mathematics raises predicted STEM-study-intention probability by 18% per SD; valuing German shows a significant negative total effect — related
