Subclaims¶

q3 i? Only students receiving rubric-based feedback significantly increased their transitions from PL4 to the picture between oral analyses 1 and 2. → Panadero 2025 q3 i? The number of PL4-picture transitions at Phase 4 significantly predicted written analysis 2 performance, even after controlling for University Entry scores. → Panadero 2025 (2)

Panadero 2025¶

q3 · i? · causal · r2

GLM analysis of PL4-picture gaze transition changes across feedback conditions in the RCT. The study found "only students who received rubric-based feedback significantly increased their transitions from PL4 to the picture"; the effect was not moderated by rubric PL order.

"only students who received rubric-based feedback significantly increased their transitions from PL4 to the picture (t = 2.19, p = .03), whereas no such increase was observed in the other feedback conditions"

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Among all Phase 4 gaze measures, "only the number of PL4-picture transitions significantly predicted students' performance in written analysis 2" after controlling for University Entry scores. Feedback type and its interaction with order did not affect visits or fixation time on PL4.

"only the number of PL4-picture transitions significantly predicted students' performance in written analysis 2 (t = 2.01, p = .049), even after controlling for University Entry scores"

• Visual attention to the highest performance level (PL4) predicts task performance, whereas verbal references to performance levels do not — related
• University students visually prioritize the highest performance level (PL4) when first reading a rubric — related
• Rubric performance level order shapes visual reading patterns—students attend most to the level presented first—but does not affect verbal references or performance — related
