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 i1 Students with a rubric showed better absolute accuracy of self-assessment than students without a rubric (d = 0.39). → Rebecca Krebs 2022
Evidence¶
Rebecca Krebs 2022¶
Rebecca Krebs, Björn Rothstein, Julian Roelle. (2022). Rubrics enhance accuracy and reduce cognitive load in self-assessment. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-022-09302-1
q3 · i1 · causal · r2
Controlled between-subjects experiment with N = 93 eleventh- and twelfth-grade students randomly assigned to rubric (n = 46) or control (n = 47) after writing a scientific abstract. The rubric group "showed better absolute accuracy than the control group", d = 0.39.
"In terms of absolute accuracy, a t test indicated a statistically significant difference, t(90) = -1.85, p = 0.034 (one-sided), d = 0.39. The rubric group showed better absolute accuracy than the control group"
