Subclaims¶

q2 i? Learners scaffolded by rule-triggered pedagogical agents showed higher frequencies of SRL activities, less repetitive SRL activities, and higher learning outcomes than learners with access to untriggered agents. → Joep van der Graaf 2023

Evidence¶

Joep van der Graaf 2023¶

Joep van der Graaf, Michelle Taub, Yizhou Fan. (2023). Introduction to special issue on facilitating self-regulated learning with scaffolds: Recent advances and future directions. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-023-09364-9

q2 · i? · review · r2

The introduction reports, citing Dever et al. (this issue), an experiment in which agents were triggered by rules considering learners' actions such as time spent reading, while the control condition had access to the agents but they were not triggered. The introduction reports "higher frequencies of SRL activities, less repetitive SRL activities, and higher learning outcomes." No effect sizes are printed.

"The experimental condition showed higher frequencies of SRL activities, less repetitive SRL activities, and higher learning outcomes."
