q3 · i? · causal · r2

The randomized study tested conditional effects for each of these "potential moderators" via the EffecLiteR approach. Only prior grades were reported as moderating, implying the other listed characteristics did not yield reported moderation; no statistics are printed for the null interactions.

"A range of student characteristics (gender, prior physics grades, physics-related effort, interest, extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and perceived autonomy in physics class) were considered as potential moderators."

Related Claims¶

• Students' prior physics grades moderated the intervention's effects on three outcomes, with higher-grade students reporting greater optional choices, joy, and effort — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Prior knowledge and intervention condition predict repeated cognitive load and interest measures: prior knowledge lowers effort and difficulty and raises interest and understanding, and prompting groups perceive tasks as more difficult — related
• Learners invest more effort in tasks they perceive as interesting, personally important, or useful to their future goals. — related
• Math self-concept is a stronger predictor of math achievement, whereas value beliefs are stronger predictors of self-reported effort — related
