Subclaims¶

q3 i? For self-management, SEL growth between 6th and 8th grade adds predictive value for 9th-grade off-track status beyond the student's initial 6th-grade level on that construct. → James Soland 2021

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Growth-model analysis of longitudinal SEL data from a large urban district (about 3,000 students per timepoint) examining self-management trajectories. The article reports that "growth for self-management is also predictive above and beyond status on that construct"; no effect size is printed.

Related Claims¶

• Middle school social-emotional learning skills predict being off-track to graduate high school — a broader claim this one bears on
• In a large urban district, 6th-grade SEL status is more frequently a significant predictor of being off track academically in 9th grade than SEL growth between 6th and 8th grade — reports the opposite
• Understanding how a student develops social-emotionally over intermediate school can improve identification of students not on track to succeed in high school — a broader claim this one bears on
• Students' 6th-grade SEL level and SEL growth from 6th to 8th grade relate to successful transition to secondary school — a broader claim this one bears on
• Whether students' SEL skills are stable over time, and whether initial level or change better flags later academic risk, was largely unknown before this study — related
• Self-management status and growth across middle school predict lower odds of having a GPA below a C and of being suspended in 9th grade, but not chronic absenteeism — a broader claim this one bears on
• 71 percent of CCSD 8th graders were on track for graduation at the end of 9th grade in 2015/16 — related
• 8th grade growth mindset and academic behavior self-reports positively predicted 9th grade on-track status; performance avoidance did not — related
• Academic self-regulation in 8th grade robustly predicts both GPA and school adjustment in 9th grade — related
• Growth in self-management predicts 9th-grade off-track status above and beyond 6th-grade status on that construct — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Students often slip off track during transition years (6th and 9th grade) even when they previously performed well — related
• No SEL construct status or growth significantly predicted chronic absenteeism in 9th grade after controlling for background characteristics — related
