Abstract

Background

Think-aloud is a process data method that provides detailed insights into students’ cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes. This makes it an ideal method for investigating self-assessment as, the vast majority of times, it occurs internally without obvious external cues. In this paper, we present a methodological overview based on three previous empirical studies, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze think-aloud data and explore the ‘black box’ of self-assessment.

Methods

A total of 67 secondary education students and 126 university students participated concurrently thinking-aloud while self-assessing academic tasks they had previously completed.

Results

We compare our two methodological approaches to analyzing think-aloud data, highlighting the coding schemes, data analysis techniques, and the critical decisions made during the think-aloud process.

Conclusions

Our findings demonstrate how think-aloud can be effectively employed through complementary quantitative and qualitative methods, providing a comprehensive understanding of the self-assessment phenomena.

释放 "思考-朗读 "数据，调查自我评估：定量和定性方法

背景思考--朗读是一种过程数据方法，可以详细了解学生的认知、情感和动机过程。这使其成为调查自我评估的理想方法，因为绝大多数情况下，自我评估发生在内部，没有明显的外部提示。在本文中，我们基于之前的三项实证研究，采用定量和定性的方法对思考-朗读数据进行分析，并探索自我评估的 "黑箱"，对方法进行了概述。结果我们比较了两种分析思考--朗读数据的方法，强调了编码方案、数据分析技术以及在思考--朗读过程中做出的关键决定。结论我们的研究结果表明，如何通过定量和定性方法的互补，有效地使用思考--朗读，从而全面了解自我评估现象。
