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.

q1 i? Academic self-efficacy is associated with high school graduation rates and achievement, including mathematics test scores. → James Soland 2019

Evidence¶

q1 · i? · associational · r?

Background statement in the abstract establishing the construct's importance; the article offers no supporting citation detail or effect size in the available text, so this is recorded as an unelaborated assertion.

"Academic self-efficacy is a construct associated with high school graduation rates and achievement, including mathematics test scores."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Self-Efficacy — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Social-emotional factors, including low academic self-efficacy and self-management, are related to rapid guessing behavior — related
High schools that foster 8th-to-9th-grade student growth across multiple dimensions positively influence students' social and academic trajectories — related
Learners' task-specific self-efficacy beliefs predict whether they initiate, persist through, and recover from difficulty on academic tasks. — related
Growth in academic self-efficacy is significantly associated with growth in mathematics achievement when modeled jointly — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
AI-generated responses positively influenced the self-efficacy of secondary students in solving mathematics problems — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
