Abstract
Recorded lectures have become a fixture in education. When viewing recorded lectures individuals can often alter the playback speed. Recent research suggests that this is a common technique and has begun to systematically examine its impact on learning and learning related variables. However, we lack a deep understanding of how and why individuals use this learning technique. Here we utilized surveys to examine, across two large samples (total n = 439), student’s use of both increasing and decreasing the playback speed of lectures. We focus on providing insight into individual’s motivations for using this technique, how it influences other learning related behaviors, and individual’s metacognitive and meta-affective beliefs about how the technique impacts them. Results suggest that altering playback speed is a common technique that is believed by learners to have both practical (e.g. time savings), cognitive (e.g. enhancing learning and attention), and affective (e.g. increasing enjoyment) benefits for learners.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
