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.
q3 i? Task persistence did not predict mothers' help or monitoring from Grade 2 to 3, but from Grade 3 to 4 more persistence predicted less maternal help and monitoring. → Viljaranta 2017

q3 · i? · associational · r3
In the cross-lagged model of 365 triads, "from grade 3 to grade 4 task avoidance was a negative predictor of both help and monitoring"; no such paths were significant from Grade 2 to 3. No standardized coefficients are printed.
"from grade 3 to grade 4 task avoidance was a negative predictor of both help and monitoring: The more task persistence teachers reported children to exhibit in grade 3, the less mothers reported helping or monitoring them in grade 4."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Maternal autonomy granting in Grade 2 positively predicts children's task persistence in Grade 3, but not from Grade 3 to Grade 4 — related
- Weak indirect effects link Grade 2 autonomy granting and help to Grade 4 performance via Grade 3 task persistence; monitoring and reverse indirect effects are not significant — related
- Maternal help in Grade 2 negatively predicts children's task persistence in Grade 3, with no prediction from Grade 3 to Grade 4 — related
- Maternal monitoring does not predict children's task persistence at any measurement point — related
- Children's task persistence positively predicts mothers' later autonomy granting across both grade transitions — related
