The Influence Of Cognitive Stytle,Reward Rule And Material Types On College Students' Judgments Of Learning

Judgment of learning and accuracy is an important aspect of study in meta-cognitive monitoring judgments. Judgment of learning (JOL)is the prediction about the future performance of learned material. Whether the prediction and judgments are positive and effective or not became a key factor to acquire knowledge and technical ability in the learning process of individuals,. The effect of the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs is predicted and monitor knowledge and technical ability that individual had learned. Therefore, in this experiment, to study the accuracy of judgments as a result of an extremely variable studied. As an important tool of practical teaching situation, reward rule can provide value and significance on information for the individual. Different reward rules mean different information; even the same information, different cognitive styles of individuals may have different cognitive and lead to different learning outcomes.This study used the classic paradigm of judgment of learning and by 2×3×3 mixed design to measure college students. The results indicated:(1)Material difficulty had prominent influence on the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs:The subjects who participated in the easy and medium difficulty items and accuracy of the JOL rating was significantly higher than difficult projects, as well as in different aspects of memory performance significantly.(2)Cognitive type had prominent influence on the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs:Field-independent subject performed significantly better than Field-dependent subjects in the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs, recall the positive side, two groups of subjects were not significantly different.(3)Reward rules had prominent influence on the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs:The subjects under internal reward got higher JOL judgment ranks, JOL accuracy and recall performance than those under eternal reward, the subjects under no reward and internal reward had no difference in recall performance.(4)Cognitive type and material difficulty had interactive influence on the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs and recall performance. In the various levels of material difficulty, field-dependent subjects got higher JOL judgment ranks, JOL accuracy than the field-dependent subjects, but in the recall performance, the two groups of subjects were not significantly different.(5)Reward types and material difficulty had interactive influence on the magnitude and accuracy of JOLs and recall performance. In the three levels of material difficulty, internal reward group and non-incentive group got higher JOL judgment ranks, JOL accuracy and recall performance than those under eternal reward group, no reward group and eternal reward group had no difference on JOL judgment ranks and recall performance.(6)Material difficulty, cognitive styles, and reward rules had no interactive influence on JOL judgment ranks, JOL accuracy, but there is interaction on the recall performance.
