I'm looking for resources/slides for teaching undergrads about causality in research design and statistics--anyone have any recommendations? Thanks so much! @stpteachpsych.bsky.social

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Our country is currently bending away from justice, and the harmful consequences of this are real and significant (see thread below). Our moral arc will not bend back until we pull it ourselves.

@tjroyuh.bsky.social made an infographic about what researchers need to know about grit in terms of measurement and validity debates:

Happy #CSEdWeek! So far this week I’ve shared videos, op-eds, and infographics about our lab’s research on gender equity in CS. Today I want to share the research itself! Data lovers, rejoice—today is your day! (1/14) #WomeninSTEM #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #DevPsychSky #SocialPsyc #EduSky #CompSky

Aera acceptance 2026

In today's Achievement Motivation seminar, we had the pleasure of a visit from Dr. Avi Kaplan, who told us how he developed the Dynamic Systems Model of Role Identity. @aera-motsig.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @tjroyuh.bsky.social

We talked about control-value theory today in Achievement Motivation, so we brought back this art activity (see thread below). @summerrobinson.bsky.social's "Yay! Motivation!" drawing took home the competitive prize, although @tjroyuh.bsky.social's doodled ghost was adorable. @aeratepsig.bsky.social

We talked about Mindsets today in Achievement Motivation, and we were honored by a visit from the always-gracious Carol Dweck! @summerrobinson.bsky.social @tjroyuh.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social @aera-motsig.bsky.social @aeratepsig.bsky.social (1/N)

Return of Ben Heddy's Lego self-efficacy activity today in Achievement Motivation class! Students built a Lego set with 1) the box and the instructions, 2) just the box but no instructions, or 3) no box AND no instructions. @tjroyuh.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social

We had a great discussion about classroom barriers, safe classroom climates where we aren't afraid of making mistakes, emotions, and things that affect our outcome and efficacy expectations. Also, we all loved Summer's Lego cat! 🥰

A great comment from a student about what to take away from his visit: "Famous researchers are regular people!" 🥰 (4/4)

We asked him about how situated expectancy-value theory developed over time, how we could incorporate belonging into it, how grad students navigate priorities with mentors' expectations, how to think about racialized cost and Black joy in the context of Black parent belonging, and much more. (2/4)

His advice to grad students for getting used to constructive feedback: "If the person giving you feedback didn’t believe in you, they wouldn’t be giving you this feedback." (3/4)

It is always a treat to have Allan Wigfield come chat with students in my Achievement Motivation seminar! @tjroyuh.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @aera-motsig.bsky.social (1/4)

Happy 4th of July, USA! 🇺🇸 As an international student, I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience this vibrant celebration of freedom and unity. Wishing everyone a day filled with joy, fireworks, and the spirit of independence! 🎆 #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly #Grateful

🚀 Thrilled to announce that my THREE first-authored research abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the APHA 2025 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.—a premier global public health conference! #apha2025 #healtheducation #quantitativemethods

@tjroyuh.bsky.social wrote an AERA conference submission about how ability self-concepts, interest, and positive perceptions of teachers' beliefs about their ability in science supported feelings of belonging for secondary students.

Thrilled to announce that I’ve been awarded the Joshua Weinstein Memorial Endowed Scholarship at UH College of Education for the 2025-2026 academic year! 🎉 A huge honor and a big step toward my educational goals—grateful for this amazing support! #Scholarship #UHCOE #ProudMoment

This year had a lot of ups and downs, but our Identity & Academic Motivation lab got together today to celebrate our accomplishments! This is a fantastic group of students, and I'm grateful for the time I get to spend with them.

Today in Educational Disparities, we talked about culturally responsive pedagogy. Our special guest was UH's own Dr. Jeannette Alarcón, who works in our college's teacher education program to train teachers to use equity pedagogy. (1/N)

I submitted three posters to the American Psychological Association Conference 2025 in Denver, Colorado, and all three were accepted. One of the posters is based on my candidacy project. #apa2025

So my 2025 academic plan is simple. 1. I want to write some quality research articles 2. I want to read more 3. I want to stay healthy no matter what

Made it through the last week of classes! We had an amazing semester in Educational Psychology. Here is the Padlet with students' reflections on the semester. #EduSky #PsychSciSky @aeratepsig.bsky.social @choijyc.bsky.social @tjroyuh.bsky.social

My grading philosophy is that students should be evaluated on learning and growth, not on how well they do compared to other students. Constructive feedback, self-reflections, and student autonomy are more valuable than arbitrary points that cause stress and anxiety. #ungradingchat

Educators: this is a really good time to take a few minutes at the start of your class to check in with your students about how they are doing. This week, my class made wordclouds about how they feel and what they need. #AcademicSky #EduSky #PsychSciSky

My philosophy is to help each student reach their potential without worrying about their peers; to offer multiple ways for them to show me what they know; to give lots of feedback; scaffold assignments; & be compassionate & kind #ungradingchat
