Subclaims¶

q2 i? The authors argue that self-report only measures learners' perceptions of the frequency of strategy use, not how successfully the learner implements the strategy, and that the best approach may combine trace data with survey or interview data. → Broadbent 2023

q2 · i? · design · r2

In the limitations section, the authors discuss the contested status of self-report for measuring SRL, citing concerns that learners may only accurately report strategies they are familiar with or have recently used; they state "self-report only measures learners’ perceptions of the frequency of strategy use".

"Arguably, self-report only measures learners’ perceptions of the frequency of strategy use, not how successfully the learner implements the strategy – i.e., the "quality" of the implementation"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Trace data tend to predict achievement better than self-reports, but self-reports of global SRL intensity can outperform traces
• Questionnaire data may capture learners' perceptions rather than the strategies they actually performed — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
