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 i? Secondary school students showed no significant correlation between SOJs and calibration accuracy on any of the three exams (French r = -.029; Math r = .036; German r = .059). → Marloes L. Nederhand 2021

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Postdiction study of 302 secondary school students who estimated grades and SOJs after regular end-of-term exams in French, Math, and German. No correlation reached significance on any exam; the article reports only test statistics, no effect sizes.
"In contrast to university students, results showed no significant correlation between SOJs and calibration accuracy among secondary school 6 M. L. Nederhand et al. students for French r = −.029, p = .654; Math r =. 0 3 6 ,p =. 5 3 9 ;a n dG e r m a nr =. 0 5 9 ,p =. 3 0 4 ."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Among university students, poorer calibration accuracy is accompanied by lower confidence in the performance estimate, independent of performance level — related
- Subjective confidence ratings did not differ between performance quartiles for university or secondary school students, failing to replicate Miller and Geraci — related
- Calibration accuracy improvements on French did not transfer to German and Math courses without the intervention, arguing against a maturation explanation — related
- Students in the Reflection condition became more confident in their grade estimates over the school year, unlike students in the Practice and Grade comparison conditions — related
