Abstract

A student’s own assessment of how well information has been learned is called a Judgment of Learning (JOL). JOLs need to be accurate if a student is to make an accurate judgment about what information needs to be restudied or practiced further, and therefore JOL accuracy affects the quality of self-regulated learning. Studies on JOL accuracy have almost exclusively focused on word pairs and text. The present study investigates judgment accuracy in problem solving tasks. Primary school children in grade 3 engaged in solving arithmetic problems and gave either immediate or delayed judgments. It was found that immediate judgments were more accurate than delayed judgments.
