A core assumption of adaptive/personalized education is that different learners thrive under different instructional conditions. Leo Tetzlaff examined the expertise-reversal effect and found some support for this, but it's complicated (asymmetry, moderators) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A new paper is out in @edpsychjournal.bsky.social with @luisevk.bsky.social! In educational psychology, motivation theories have not really changed since I was a ph. D. student (20y ago) and same theories are still dominant. Do you find it strange? If so, read it! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

In case you needed more evidence that social media may not be the thing we should be obsessing about when it comes to wellbeing…another meta-analysis of experimental data showing no link.

Thank you, @amiyake.bsky.social

Excellent post on the lack of empirical support for stereotype threat, from someone deeply involved in the research. Also, importantly, "stereotype threat isn't real" != "stereotypes are not threatening." These are very different claims, but the former is often taken to mean the latter.

We desperately need new ways to conceptualise social media's impact on the mind & brain. Formal computational modelling could be a way to do this. Georgia spent 2+ years of her PhD further developing this approach. More details below, its worth a read ⬇️

I'm so grateful to @jeffgreene.bsky.social for my experience being a part of this! I learned so much about theory development and about the editor role from working with the topical collection authors and from Jeff's truly excellent mentorship & collaboration. link.springer.com/collections/... 1/3

I'm thrilled to share this new article with @krisarob.bsky.social that provides commentary and reflections on the topical collection we guest edited for Educational Psychology Review on The Past, Present, and Future of Theory Development in Educational Psychology! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I don't think anyone has started a Learning Scholars starter pack, so here we go! Let me know if you'd like to be added, removed, etc. Please share! go.bsky.app/CBPm1dV

A hum-dinger of a Table of Contents for the latest issue of Educational Psychology Review. Articles on procrastination, active learning, learning with tech, retrieval practice, pretesting, and much more - oh my! #edusky #academicsky #PsychSciSky link.springer.com/journal/1064...

🚨 New preprint with @schu.etze.co & @stephanyrea.bsky.social In this paper, we lay out ways in which instructors might be able to support students' use of effective, but difficult, learning strategies both in and out of the classroom and directions for future research. #psychscisky #edusky

Been saving this for my first post here. As part of a new Research Training Group on Curiosity to be established at Göttingen (www.uni-goettingen.de/de/681631.html), we advertise a PhD position in developmental curiosity research in my group. More details here: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/document/...

NEW: Open Letter on the Need for Preregistration Transparency in Peer Review docs.google.com/document/d/1... To work as intended, preregistration needs to be part of peer review process. We make commitments to doing so as authors, editors, & reviewers. Please sign and share widely with colleagues!

Should we question the empirical evidence on active learning pedagogies? Find out in my latest Substack! #edusky #academicsky #PsychSciSky open.substack.com/pub/bemusing...

Learning to Imagine: The Science of Discovering New Possibilities (www.amazon.com/Learning-Ima...) is coming out Nov. 14!   To celebrate, I will be posting an image and caption from each chapter over the next several days. Here’s the table of contents to start things off.

Come work with me as a Project Scientist for the UC/CSU Collaborative!

We are looking for a postdoc and a PhD student (flexible start dates). They will be part of the international CERES network and work on a project on developing mobile technologies that support children's learning in digital environments. www.dipf.de/en/dipf-news...
