Related Claims¶

• Approaches to test score use and test purpose lack well-developed methodological guidelines and established sources of evidence, unlike score interpretation — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The field lacks micro-level S-SRL theory and methodological guidelines, and studies have not connected temporal/sequential characteristics to learning gains — related
