Subclaims¶

q2 i? Students based a median of 6.00 of 8 selections on content, 2.00 on difficulty level, and 1.00 on support level, and only 2 of 118 selections took all three into account. → Nugteren 2018

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Explorative lab experiment in which 15 secondary school students selected eight genetics tasks from a 75-task database and wrote down their reasons, which two raters coded (intraclass correlations .98, .95, .84). Participants "based a median of 6.00 selections out of 8 on content". No effect size is printed for this descriptive result.

"Participants indicated that they based a median of 6.00 selections out of 8 on content, 2.00 selections out of 8 on difficulty level, and 1.00 selections out of 8 on support level"

• Students' actual task selections deviate about half a difficulty level and half a support level from SRLTS model-based selections — related
• Eye movements shift from easy, low-support tasks during early selections to faster orientation toward more difficult tasks during final selections — related
• Self-assessment accuracy and estimated performance change do not improve over repeated task selections within a single session — related
• Secondary school students overestimate their performance on learning tasks by about one step out of five — related
• Tenth-graders show few signs of global task awareness when selecting text fragments, rarely rereading or deeply processing task instructions — related
