Description¶

The authors recommend extending research beyond the bivariate correlation: investigating whether effort is a valid cue for performance (cue diagnosticity), how intrinsic versus extraneous cognitive load affect perceived effort, and the curvilinear relationship reported by Undorf and Ackerman (2017). They suggest "meta-analytic structural equation modeling could be conducted in which cue diagnosticity, cue utilization, and monitoring accuracy are investigated in the same analysis" and within-subjects designs across task types and phases.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Within-subjects designs measuring effort and monitoring for different task types and during learning versus performance phases

Constraints¶

• The meta-analysis did not investigate whether effort is a good cue for performance or monitoring accuracy

Target Learners¶

• students in self-regulated learning contexts

Target Learning Goals¶

• understanding and improving monitoring accuracy and self-regulated learning

Claims¶

• Effort and monitoring judgments show a medium negative correlation (r = −.355) during learning [+W]
• Monitoring judgment timing moderates the correlation: concurrent judgments show a stronger negative association than prospective judgments [+W]
• Effort measurement type moderates the correlation: self-agency ratings show a positive association and subjective ratings a stronger negative one than objective measures [+W]
• In the multivariate meta-regression, goal-driven manipulation, judgment timing, and task type remain significant moderators [+W]
• Monitoring accuracy score does not moderate the effort–monitoring correlation [+W]
