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? Group TD showed statistically significant increases in SRL knowledge (β = 3.95; p < 0.001), the SRL overall score (β = 0.31; p < 0.001) and self-efficacy (β = 0.20; p = 0.04) but not in mathematics scores. → Bellhäuser 2022
q3 i? Group TD showed statistically significant increases on the SRL subscales planning (β = 0.55; p < 0.001) and metacognition (β = 0.44; p < 0.01), while Groups C and D showed none. → Bellhäuser 2022 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Planned contrasts testing each group's pre-to-post gain in the randomized trial. Group TD (training + diary) "showed statistically significant increases in SRL knowledge (β = 3.95; p < 0.001)", SRL overall score (β = 0.31) and self-efficacy (β = 0.20; p = 0.04) "but not in mathematics scores".
"As seen in Table 3, Group TD showed statistically significant increases in SRL knowledge (β = 3.95; p < 0.001), in the SRL overall score (β = 0.31; p < 0.001) and in self-efficacy (β = 0.20; p = 0.04) but not in mathematics scores."

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Planned gain contrasts on the seven SRL questionnaire subscales. "Group TD showed statistically significant increases in planning (β = 0.55; p < 0.001) and in metacognition (β = 0.44; p < 0.01)", whereas Group C and Group D showed no significant subscale increases.
"Although Group C and Group D showed no statistically significant increases in any of the SRL subscales, Group TD showed statistically significant increases in planning (β = 0.55; p < 0.001) and in metacognition (β = 0.44; p < 0.01)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
-
Self-efficacy judgments correspond less well to behavior in learning settings than in performance settings — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
-
Keeping a structured learning diary without further intervention did not improve university students' self-regulation — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
-
Reflection interventions in higher education have a medium positive average effect on learning that varies with duration, peer interaction and the reflective activity used — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Self Regulated Learning Strategy Instruction Improves Achievement
- A daily learning diary alone (Group D) did not produce statistically significant pre-post gains on any measured outcome in an online mathematics preparation course — 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

- Training SRAE facilitators significantly increased their self-reported knowledge of self-regulation — related
- Logged time investment on an online mathematics preparation platform differed significantly across SRL intervention groups, rising from control through diary and training + diary to training + diary + peer feedback groups — 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
- With peer feedback groups added to web-based SRL training (Group TDP), students showed statistically significant gains in self-motivation, volition and reflection, beyond the planning and metacognition gains also seen in Group TD; goal-setting and elaboration gains stayed non-significant — related
- Web-based SRL training interventions produced statistically significant group by time interactions on the SRL subscales planning, self-motivation, volition, elaboration and metacognition, but not on goal-setting or reflection — related
- In one nonequivalent-groups study of pre-school prospective teachers, the group taught with formative assessment embedded in explicit-reflective instruction scored higher on post-test NOS and SK than the group taught with explicit-reflective instruction alone — related
- Self-regulated learning interventions have a moderate effect (0.65) on learning outcomes in online and blended environments — related
- Upper-elementary teachers have large effects on students' self-reported behavior in class, self-efficacy in math, and happiness in class that are similar in magnitude to their effects on math test scores — related
- Learning paths used for SRL improved accuracy and performance without increasing effort, and tutoring-system benefits required sustained practice — related
- Students showed a large, statistically significant increase in engagement from pre- to post-intervention in the 5-week Mindsets program (d ≈ 1.11) — related
- In association-rule mining of survey data from 530 college students in online courses, goal setting, environment structuring and time management were the strategies most often associated with lower digital distraction — related

- Using the chatbot-based journaling system improves self-reported SRL strategy use from pre-survey to 12-week follow-up in all groups, including baseline — related
- Students’ prompt self-efficacy increased significantly after the scaffolded GenAI course (t = 3.729, p < .001) — related
- The GenAI feedback group showed a statistically significant post-intervention improvement in the Task Strategies dimension of SRL compared with the tutor group — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- A randomized controlled trial with 86 K-12 students found a significant gain in self-regulated-learning strategy use from agentic coaching systems — related
- The combined training-plus-diary condition improved specific SRL components: SRL knowledge, metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies (elaboration, organisation, critical thinking), and resource management strategies (time-management, effort regulation) — related

- Combining a structured learning diary with instruction on self-regulated learning increased students' strategy use and self-efficacy — related
- Neither diary-keeping nor diary-plus-instruction improved university students' academic performance — related
- Self-regulated learning is associated with increased academic achievement and improved learning outcomes for students — related
- Immersion in inquiry-based learning significantly increases student teachers' value for procedural knowledge goals and self-efficacy for inquiry, but not substantive knowledge goals — related

- CCCT participation improved prospective teachers' co-regulation situations (g = 0.512) — related
- Reflection prompts combined with tutor feedback had positive effects on the development of students' self-regulated learning competence — related
- Time management interventions show conflicting evidence for raising self-efficacy — related
