Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Self-determination skills instruction for students with disabilities increases self-determination on some measures but not others — a broader claim this one bears on
• Students taught with the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction gain in self-determination, but not significantly more than a delayed-treatment control group — related
• Effect size heterogeneity in self-management interventions may be explained by grade level, disability status, and general versus special education setting — related
• Middle school students with intellectual disabilities taught problem-solving or study planning skills showed significantly more capacity on the targeted skill than students in the alternating control group — related
• All four students achieved above the performance levels teachers expected on the Goal Attainment Scale, exceeding their personal goals by 10% to 20% — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Goal setting improves performance — related
