q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

Study 2 (n = 20) collected concurrent think-aloud protocols and retrospective interviews while university students worked with science content containing conceptual discrepancies, "to further explore why discrepancies were noticed (or not) and how they were resolved." The themes above emerged from this qualitative analysis.

"Results revealed that prior knowledge and epistemic self-efficacy in oneself as an evaluator of knowledge emerged as important themes to detecting and efficiently resolving discrepancies."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Epistemic Beliefs — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Whether conceptual discrepancies are noticed (or not) and how they are resolved can be traced through concurrent think-aloud protocols and retrospective interviews — related
• University students adapt their behavioral processing of discrepant science content as a function of their epistemic cognition and discrepancy type — related
• Self-report factors correlate weakly with metacognitive behavior while within-factor subcomponent correlations are larger, per studies reviewed for the meta-analysis — related
• Think-aloud reports are incomplete and sometimes nonveridical, particularly for metacognitive processes — related
• After high-confidence errors, resolving the discrepancy with additional information produced enjoyment, while failure to resolve it produced frustration — related
