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 i0 Across four studies, the pooled effect of rubric use on self-efficacy was g = 0.18, statistically significant but small. → Panadero 2023

Panadero, Ernesto; Jonsson, Anders; Pinedo, Leire; Fernández-Castilla, Belén. (2023). Effects of Rubrics on Academic Performance, Self-Regulated Learning, and self-Efficacy: a Meta-analytic Review. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-023-09823-4
q3 · i0 · quant-synthesis · r2
Standard random-effects meta-analysis of four effect sizes from four studies on self-efficacy, with a pooled effect of g = 0.18, below d = 0.2. The article notes this set of studies is "particularly strong in terms of research design" with substantial samples (up to 762 participants), but urges caution given the small number of effect sizes.
"The overall effect was 0.18 (SE = 0.05, Z = 3.31, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.07, 0.29], 95% PI [0.07, 0.29], /uni0302.s1/u1D70E2 between = 0.000), which is small in magnitude."

- Using rubrics has a positive, moderate effect on students' academic performance (corrected g = 0.45; standardized mean change = 0.38) — related
- For self-regulated learning outcomes, rubrics combined with both self- and peer assessment show a significantly larger effect than rubrics with self-assessment alone — related
