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.
q2 i? Prompted learners (M = 58.32% correctness) and control learners (M = 55.71%) did not differ significantly on a 10-min recall knowledge test. → Rebecca Pape 2026
Evidence¶
Rebecca Pape 2026¶
Rebecca Pape, Joachim Thomas. (2026). Exploring young learners’ prompted and unprompted SRL think-alouds. Learning and Instruction 102 (2026) 102294. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2025.102294
q2 · i? · causal · r2
Posttest analysis of the 10-min recall knowledge test after the 30-min CBLE session; the Mann-Whitney U test found "no significant difference between the groups" (U = 145.50, Z = .343, p = .736).
"The statistical analysis showed, using a Mann-Whitney U test, no significant difference between the groups (U = 145.50, Z = .343, p = .736). Hence, the metacognitive prompts did not significantly support the students’ recall learning performance."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Metacognitive prompting increases domain-general metacognitive SRL activities (goal specification and strategic planning) in young learners in a CBLE — related
- Metacognitive prompting did not significantly change the overall frequency of metacognitive SRL activities in main categories and subcategories — related
- Cognitive and metacognitive prompts did not increase self-reported online strategy use, the quality of strategies in learners' notes, or learning outcomes in hypermedia learning — a broader claim this one bears on
