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.
q2 i? No significant correlations were found between SKT-SRL scores and academic achievement measured as high school GPA in the pilot study. → Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich 2024
q2 i? In Validation Study 1, SKT-SRL scores again did not correlate significantly with high school GPA. → Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich 2024 (2)
Evidence¶
Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich 2024¶
Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich, Jörn R. Sparfeldt, Franziska Perels. (2024). Knowing how to learn: development and validation of the strategy knowledge test for self-regulated learning (SKT-SRL) for college students. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-024-09379-w
q2 · i? · design · r3
Pilot study (N = 143) correlating SKT-SRL total and subscale scores with German high school graduation certificate GPA (Abiturnote); no significant correlations emerged.
"We found no significant correlations between the SKT-SRL scores and academic achievement as measured using high school GPA."
Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich 2024 (2)¶
Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich, Jörn R. Sparfeldt, Franziska Perels. (2024). Knowing how to learn: development and validation of the strategy knowledge test for self-regulated learning (SKT-SRL) for college students. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-024-09379-w
q2 · i? · design · r3
Validation Study 1 (N = 99) replicated the null relationship between SKT-SRL scores and GPA, contrary to the hypothesis of low-to-moderate correlations.
"Furthermore, the SKT-SRL scores did not correlate significantly with high school GPA."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The SKT-SRL correlates moderately with self-reported SRL strategy usage (convergent validity) — related
- The SKT-SRL shows low, mostly non-significant correlations with SRL microanalysis (online measure) — related
- Adapting the scoring mechanism substantially reduced ceiling effects found in the pilot study — related
- Trait emotional intelligence showed no significant association with university GPA, despite correlating with engagement, SRL strategies and self-efficacy — related
- The only significant cross-method correlation within one SRL component is motivation assessed by questionnaire and closed-ended microanalytic questions — related
- Whether an SRL component correlates with GPA depends on how it is assessed: cognition via a strategy knowledge test, motivation via questionnaire, metacognition via an open-ended microanalytic question — reports the opposite
