🔥"Those who believe school can be reinvented seem to have a very limited understanding of school and even less consideration of students. Inevitably, they view learning as a problem of content delivery, failing to understand that learning is a social process, happening among and inside of people."

Are views on research ethics and questionable research practices discipline-specific? New work by Amanda Lindkvist, @linakoppel.bsky.social, @danielvastfjall.bsky.social, et al. doi.org/10.1016/j.re...

Self-report knowledge of and self-concept for self-regulated learning differentiated adolescents into three groups that did differ in average GPA. Self-reports are fine as long as they are interpreted as respondents' knowledge or perception, rather than behavior. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

TIL cross-country skiing is a beast. Stoked to have found a winter sport gentle on my janky joints!

Finally got myself sorted with XC ski equipment with end-of-season sales. This snow could not have come at a better time!

Epistemic vigilance is a concept developed by Sperber et al. describing how we guard against the possibility that other people might misinform us. Two key points in this literature: 1. We need to scrutinize the content of messages 2. We need to scrutinize the source of messages 2/

Sometimes the desire to succeed is there, but a student’s skill level or preparation hasn’t caught up. Consider simple “red light, green light” activities to spot check for frustration before it boils over.🚦

Eeeek! So excited! Our Conference Committee has pulled this together in one month. I am so grateful for and proud of our team. I am stoked to get this conference back on its feet for my fellow education grad students.

Lastly to round up the 🧵: Science works doesn't mean every scientific study produces a fact ready for public consumption. Scientific work is incremental, iterative, nonlinear, slow, imperfect, relentless. Continuous improvement upon what was. Science works not despite but because of many failures.

Yes, Microsoft. That's what I meant to write.

I vote that garlic bread should not count towards anything but happiness. 0 cals. 0 bloating.

These fictions degrade us both, computer.

I'm still in contact with Reese W. about supercharging my writing career through a mere $100 promotional fee. I've now also been contacted by three different people who want to do a movie version of some (unnamed) book. Time are great for writers! biblioracle.substack.com/p/reese-w-is...

🥌 DAY FIFTEEN 🥌 Unlike many other sports, Curling's best athletes are adults in their mid-to-late 30s with families and careers. Team Homan careers include graphic design, psychotherapy, and university finance. 3/4 of the team went back to being moms minutes after winning bronze. 🇨🇦🥉

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

Finalizing chapter revisions this morning and having joy about referencing one of my favs: doi.org/10.1080/0046... I never got to meet Jere Brophy, but I've benefitted so much from his legacy: his writing, certainly, but also the Brophy Fellowship that helped so much during grad school.❤️ #amwriting

it's one thing to have an ai to get you an output in a minuscule amount of time (as compared to how much you'd be spending on the task). but it's a whole 'nother thing to experience the cogs turning in your brain and things clicking. one is about your livelihood. the other is about feeling alive.

Interesting! I'm unsure about early feasibility (e.g., how would reviewers manage the increased burden during transition between systems), the reproducibility priority would need to be hashed out more (method or results?), and the ethics of the open data requirement would need to be considered.

This point is something that I think people don't understand...at all. "the common practice of only choosing statistically significant results to replicate will mechanically induce upward bias in original estimates, irrespective of whether or not the published literature is biased."

As always, the best diet for weight loss is the one you can stick to and that does not induce a nutritional deficiency. It's calories in vs. calories out, and intermittent fasting is, according to this review, no better at it than other diets. Will it make you live longer? Who knows....

Absolutely devastated. How deeply moving of her family to donate her organs to the Gift of Life program. Words are not enough in such a time.

Anyone who argues that AI is a tool of enhancing our cognition really needs to sit with this example.
