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? The effect of transcription on text generation was significant in Grades 4-6 (β = .60, p = .01) but not in Grades 7-9 (β = .26, p = .23). → Limpo 2013
Evidence¶
Limpo 2013¶
Limpo, T., & Alves, R. A. (2013). Modeling writing development: Contribution of transcription and self-regulation to Portuguese students' text generation quality. Journal of Educational Psychology, 105, 401-413. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0031391
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Structural equation modeling on data from 171 students in Grades 4-6 and 205 in Grades 7-9 found the transcription-to-text-generation path "significant in Grades 4-6 (βT→TG = .60, p = .01)" but non-significant in Grades 7-9; equivalence was not tested. No standardized effect size beyond the path coefficient is printed.
"The effect of transcription on text generation (T→TG) was significant in Grades 4-6 (βT→TG = .60, p = .01), but it was not in Grades 7-9 (βT→TG = .26, p = .23)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Planning and self-efficacy contributed more to text generation in Grades 7-9, transcription more in Grades 4-6 — a broader claim this one bears on
- In Grades 7-9, transcription contributes to writing quality indirectly through planning and self-efficacy — related
