Accurate self-monitoring of text comprehension is critical for effective self-regulated learning from texts. Unfortunately, it has been repeatedly shown that students’ monitoring of their text comprehension is often inaccurate, which can subsequently lead to inaccurate regulation and ineffective restudy decisions. Previous research provided evidence that completing causal diagrams at a delay after text reading (i.e., diagramming) can help to improve students’ monitoring of text comprehension. However, even after diagramming, there is still substantial room for improvement. The current studies therefore aimed to test whether providing feedback in the form of a correctly completed diagram (i.e., performance standard) would further increase students’ monitoring accuracy. In Study 1, 79 participants (aged 18–23) made judgements of learning under four conditions: I. No-Diagram (control), II. Standard-Only, III. Diagramming-Only, or IV. Diagramming + Standard. In each condition, students studied a text, made a judgement of learning before and after the experimental tasks, and completed a comprehension test at the end of each of the (overall six) trials. Results showed that only Diagramming + Standard improved monitoring accuracy and text comprehension. In Study 2, 20 undergraduate students (aged 18–23) completed the Diagramming + Standard condition while their eye movements were tracked and subsequently replayed for cued retrospective verbal reporting. The findings suggest that students used the standards to identify mistakes and improve their monitoring and text comprehension.

准确的自我监控文本理解对于有效地自我调节文本学习至关重要。不幸的是，事实一再表明，学生对文本理解的监控往往不准确，这可能会导致不准确的监管和无效的重新学习决策。先前的研究提供的证据表明，在阅读文本后延迟完成因果图（即图表）有助于提高学生对文本理解的监控。然而，即使在绘制图表之后，仍然存在很大的改进空间。因此，当前的研究旨在测试以正确完成的图表（即表现标准）的形式提供反馈是否会进一步提高学生的监控准确性。在研究 1 中，79 名参与者（18-23 岁）在四种条件下对学习做出判断：I. 无图（对照），II. 仅标准，III。仅绘图，或 IV。图表+标准。在每种情况下，学生都学习一篇文本，在实验任务之前和之后对学习情况做出判断，并在每次（总共六次）试验结束时完成理解测试。结果表明，只有图表+标准才能提高监测准确性和文本理解力。在研究 2 中，20 名本科生（18-23 岁）完成了图表 + 标准条件，同时跟踪他们的眼球运动并随后重放以进行有提示的回顾性口头报告。研究结果表明，学生使用这些标准来识别错误并提高他们的监控和文本理解能力。
