I did not use my phone, laptop or other device during class unless it was related to the class's activities.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a self-report statement: 'I did not use my phone, laptop or other device during class unless it was related to the class's activities.' The accompanying data shows an answer of 'yes' but there are no answer options provided in the 'answer_options' field.

Because there are no listed options to evaluate, we cannot assess which option the 'yes' would correspond to, nor can we determine if the 'yes' is the correct choice relative to a predefined rubric.

In evaluating self-report statements like this, several considerations are useful:
- Self-perception vs. behavior: learners may intend to follow class rules, but actual behavior could differ due to habit or distractions. 
- Social desirability bias: students might answer 'yes' to align with expected norms, even if their behavior varied.
- Context dependency: the correctness of answering 'yes' depends on whether any device use occurred for class activities, such as note-taking or research during a specific session.
- Clarity of the prompt: without explicit examples of what counts as 'related to the class's activities,' interpretation may vary between students.

Given the absence of answer options, you could proceed by ensuring the question file includes all potential choices (e.g., 'Yes, I adhered to the rule,' 'No, I used devices for non-class activities,' 'Sometimes, depending on the activity,' etc.). Once options are present, you can map the provided answer to the corresponding option and assess alignment with the rubric or learning outcomes.

If the goal is to assess consistency, consider adding follow-up items to probe occasional exceptions, and complement self-reports with observation or usage logs for a more robust view.
