Description¶
A taxonomy for coding think-aloud protocols of secondary school students studying a history text, developed by Meijer et al. and described as "theoretically based and data driven" and tested on new protocols "in a cyclic fashion". Its revised form "discerned 56 specific metacognitive activities that adhered to four superordinate scales, orientation & planning, execution, monitoring, and elaboration & evaluation." In this article it directly formed the basis of the task-specific questionnaire, with each taxonomy category tapped by one questionnaire item.
Accounts¶
- Meijer et al. taxonomy of 56 metacognitive text-studying activities in four superordinate scales: A taxonomy for coding think-aloud protocols of secondary school students studying a history text, developed by Meijer et al. and described as "theoretically based and data driven" and tested on new protocols "in a cyclic fashion". Its revised form "discerned 56 specific metacognitive activities that adhered to four superordinate scales, orientation & planning, execution, monitoring, and elaboration & evaluation." In this article it directly formed the basis of the task-specific questionnaire, with each taxonomy category tapped by one questionnaire item. (Gonny Schellings (2011))
Claims¶
- A task-specific questionnaire built item-by-item from a think-aloud coding taxonomy correlated r=.51 with think-aloud protocols, higher than the -.07 to .42 regularly reported [+M]
- Most subscale reliabilities of the task-specific questionnaire were moderate to low (three of four subscales with 16 students, all four with 190), despite acceptable full-instrument reliability [~M]
