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? Training more SRL phases produced better basketball free-throw scores in a linear trend across five conditions. → Panadero E 2017
q2 i? SRL skills predicted 90% variance in volleyball serving skill among expert and non-expert college women. → Panadero E 2017 (2)
Evidence¶
Panadero E 2017¶
Panadero E. (2017). A Review of Self-regulated Learning: Six Models and Four Directions for Research. Front. Psychol. 8:422. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00422
q2 · i? · causal · r?
Experimental training study reviewed by the article as support for the cyclical model: 50 college students in five conditions training one to three SRL phases plus two controls; "The results showed a linear trend: the more phases trained the better the participants' scores." No effect size printed.
"Cleary et al. (2006) trained 50 college students in basketball free throws organized in five different conditions: one-phase SRL, two- phases SRL, three-phases SRL, control group practice-only and control group no-practice. The results showed a linear trend: the more phases trained the better the participants' scores."

q2 · i? · review · r2
Comparative study of expert and non-expert college women in volleyball; the review reports "the SRL skills predicted 90% variance in serving skills." Variance explained is not a standardized effect size, so impact is null.
"Kitsantas and Zimmerman (2002) compared college women that were experts and non-experts in volleyball, finding that the SRL skills predicted 90% variance in serving skills."
