Subclaims¶

q3 i? Strategy decisions to use interleaved practice significantly increased over time, from 13% before study to 40% at final choice. → Onan 2022 q3 i? The number of interleaved-practice choices did not significantly differ between the VFP and control group. → Onan 2022 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Binary strategy choices at three time points: 13% reported habitual interleaved use before study, 34% after study phase I, and 40% chose interleaved practice for novel materials. The Cochran's Q test was significant, χ2(2) = 43.531, p < 0.001; no effect size was printed.

"A Cochran's Q test further revealed that strategy decisions to use interleaved practice significantly increased over time, χ2(2) = 43.531, p < 0.001."

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Half of participants (N = 74) received the visual feedback prompt before the final choice. The chi-square test showed no significant difference between groups, χ2(1) = 2.151, p = 0.142; equivalence was not tested and no effect size was printed.

"A chi-square test of independence further indicated that the number of choices for interleaved practice did not significantly differ between the VFP and control group, χ2(1) = 2.151, p = 0.142."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Strategy efficacy beliefs shift toward the strategy a student chooses: choosers of blocked practice raised blocked beliefs and lowered interleaved beliefs, and vice versa — related
• Temporal increase in perceived learning fully mediates the effect of temporal decrease in perceived effort on choosing interleaved practice — related
• Qualitative findings: students initially held inaccurate beliefs about strategy efficacy, and high effort from interleaved practice was misinterpreted as a sign of poor learning — related
• Perceived learning is higher for blocked than interleaved practice at onset but increases over time for interleaved practice only — related
• Perceived effort is higher and perceived learning lower for interleaving than blocking, and experience-mediated increases in perceived learning raise interleaving choices — related
