"I can do math!": A self-regulated learning intervention to enhance math-related motivational factors and performance in middle school.
Article in The British journal of educational psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSelf-regulated learning (SRL) interventions have been widely recognized for their potential to enhance students' academic achievement; however, their effects on math-related motivational constructs remain less explored. This study investigated the impact of an SRL intervention on multiple math-related motivational factors (math perseverance, math self-efficacy, math utility value, STEM vocational interest and theory of intelligence) and math performance among Year 6 and Year 7 middle school students (N = 382), assessing outcomes both immediately after the intervention (post-test) and 6 months later (follow-up).
methodsStudents in the SRL intervention group engaged in six sessions focusing on planning, performance monitoring and self-evaluation strategies. In contrast, a control group practiced the same math exercises without explicit SRL training.
resultsFindings revealed that, at post-test, the SRL group showed improvements in math perseverance, math utility value, and theory of intelligence, as well as in math performance, compared to the control group. No differences were observed in math self-efficacy and STEM vocational interest. However, gains in math perseverance, theory of intelligence and math performance persisted at the 6-month follow-up, suggesting persistent benefits of the SRL intervention.
conclusionThese findings underscore the value of integrating SRL interventions into regular math instruction and highlight the potential of such interventions to foster both math motivation and performance.
