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.
q2 i? Intrinsic motivation predicted intended effort most strongly (standardized coefficient = .58), followed by identified regulation (.33) and introjected regulation (.13). → Takahashi 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r2
SEM results for the SDT model (n = 511) show standardized path coefficients to intended effort of .58 for intrinsic motivation, .33 for identified regulation, and .13 for introjected regulation; the article reports all path coefficients were significant.
"for the SDT model, intrinsic motivation predicted intended effort most strongly (standardized coefficient = .58), followed by identified regulation (.33) and, to a much lesser extent, introjected regulation (.13)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
-
Basic psychological need satisfaction is strongly associated with learning engagement among medical undergraduates — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
-
Learners invest more effort in tasks they perceive as interesting, personally important, or useful to their future goals. — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Intended learning effort predicts L2 proficiency with a modest standardized coefficient of .20 in all three models — related
- In the L2MSS, the L2 learning experience predicts intended effort most strongly, while the ideal L2 self is weaker than the theory argues — related
- SDT and L2MSS constructs correlate as predicted, with the ought-to L2 self/own most closely tied to introjected regulation — related
- Perceived Competence, Intrinsic Motivation, and Psychological Safety each significantly positively predict Deep Revision Engagement — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Satisfaction of basic psychological needs is positively associated with autonomous motivation, with competence the strongest predictor — related
- Children with ADHD show higher external regulation, introjected regulation and amotivation, and lower intrinsic motivation and identified regulation, toward learning than TD children — related
- Introjected regulation is positively related to Korean students' achievement and self-regulated learning despite its association with academic stress — related
- Self-determination theory grew incrementally by adding mini-theories as evidence accumulated — related
