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 Prior Domain interest significantly predicted Task6 interest (β=.25) and post Domain interest (β=.24), but not future Course interest (β=-.02, p=.53). → Fryer 2021

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Longitudinal-SEM fully-forward model of the 310-student course study. The model shows prior Domain interest predicted "just one Task interest (H1a: Task6, β=.25)" and post Domain interest, with no direct path to Course interest.

"prior Domain interest presented significant predictive direct relationships with just one Task interest (H1a: Task6, β=.25) and post Domain interest (H1a: β=.24), but not future Course interest (H1a: β=-.02, p=.53)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Interest — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Interest in specific tasks (Task3, Task5, Task6) strongly predicted Course interest, and Task3 and Task5 also directly predicted Domain interest. — related
