Subclaims¶

q2 i? Multiple student survey measures negatively predicted GPA. → Hart 2020 q2 i? Only two other measures had significant negative associations, each in only two of 40 comparisons. → Hart 2020 (2)

Evidence¶

Hart 2020¶

Hart, H., Young, C., Chen, A., Zou, A., & Allensworth, E.M. (2020). Supporting school improvement: Early findings from reexamination of the 5Essentials survey. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/supporting-school-improvement

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Results overview reporting negative associations between student survey measures and the GPA outcome. The report offers the interpretation that this may be consistent with research showing greater academic challenges may lower grades while raising test scores.

"Multiple student survey measures negatively predicted GPA, which may be consistent with research that shows greater academic challenges may lower grades while at the same time raising test scores."

Hart 2020 (2)¶

Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/supporting-school-improvement

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Results overview on the rarity of negative associations beyond the GPA pattern: only two other measures showed any significant negative associations, and each did so in only two out of 40 total comparisons.

"Only two other measures had any significant negative associations. However, each was significantly negative in only two out of 40 total comparisons."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• 5Essentials Survey measures predict school improvement in elementary and high schools, but not all measures relate to all outcomes — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Work-avoidant orientation correlates negatively with GPA in the project-based course — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Neither cognitive ability, curiosity, nor epistemic behavior significantly predicts tertiary academic performance in the heterogeneous sample — related
• Strong scores and growth on the 5Essentials Survey predict student success measures including GPA, attendance, test scores, and college enrollment — related
• Secondary academic performance is predicted by cognitive ability more strongly than by curiosity — related
• Elementary GPA improved more in schools with strong 5Essentials Survey scores, a new outcome beyond the original validation — related
