Description
Compare supplied practice and self ratings.
Adult-learning records distinguish self ratings, comparison criteria, acknowledgments, feedback states and recognized credits. Closing a feedback item can mean completion or decline, while a reported rating gap does not establish competence. Supplied priorities and evidence references need the broader learning context.
Compare supplied practice and self ratings.
When to use this tool
Use Learning Goal Self Rating Practice Gap when you already have selfRating, practiceRating and need to compare supplied practice and self ratings.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter selfRating, practiceRating. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedGap. Use the output convention below.
Return practiceRating-selfRating, retaining signs.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| selfRating | Self Rating | Required. Finite number. |
| practiceRating | Practice Rating | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| signedGap | Signed Gap | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Ratings need comparable scales and criteria. The difference does not validate assessment, identify skill or prove a learning effect.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the complete goals, criteria, learner preferences, evidence and recognition policy. Use an appropriate educational assessment for learning decisions; local labels, time gaps and supplied credit balances do not establish outcomes or informed agreement.
