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? A meta-analysis finds situation-model-approach interventions (such as delayed summary writing and delayed keyword listing) have a medium-sized positive effect on metacomprehension accuracy and a small direct effect on comprehension. → de Bruin 2020

The editorial summarizes the meta-analysis by Prinz, Golke, and Wittwer (this issue) of situation-model-approach interventions on metacomprehension accuracy. The review reports a "medium-sized positive effect on metacomprehension accuracy" and a small direct comprehension effect; no standardized effect size value is printed.
"Their findings show that these interventions have a medium-sized positive effect on metacomprehension accuracy and a small direct effect on comprehension. Setting a comprehension-test expectancy seemed to be a particularly effective intervention compared to all else."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Five of seven situation-model interventions significantly improved relative metacomprehension accuracy, concept mapping only marginally (p = .097), and self-explaining not significantly — related
- Situation-model-approach interventions produce a medium positive average effect (g = 0.46) on relative metacomprehension accuracy — related
- Situation-model-approach interventions also directly improved comprehension, albeit with a small effect — related
- Generative and visualizing tasks improve metacomprehension and monitoring accuracy but show small or null effects on learning outcomes — related
