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.
q2 i? One training study improved both time management and self-efficacy, while a web-based tool study improved time management but not self-efficacy. → Christopher A. Wolters 2025

The review reports Terry and Doolittle's study of 64 students using a web-based goal-setting and monitoring tool over 2 weeks, finding gains only in time management strategy use. In contrast, Abdul Kader and Eissa's matched-groups training study (60 fifth-grade boys) reported improved time management and self-efficacy.
"Pretest–posttest comparisons showed that students' daily use of the tool increased only their reported use of time management strategies but not their self-efficacy for SRL nor their self-efficacy for addressing challenges."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Web-based SRL training combined with a learning diary (Group TD) produced statistically significant pre-post gains in SRL knowledge, the SRL overall score and self-efficacy, but not in mathematics scores, among prospective university students in an online preparation course — related
- In a randomized trial of SRL interventions in an online mathematics preparation course, group and time interacted significantly on SRL knowledge, self-efficacy and the SRL overall score, with Group TDP (training + diary + peer feedback) showing the most prominent gains — related
- Adding small peer feedback groups to web-based SRL training and a diary (Group TDP) produced statistically significant gains in SRL knowledge, the SRL overall score, self-efficacy and the mathematics focus score, the last of which Group TD did not show — related
