Anyone have good resources for doing planned missingness designs in surveys? We have a large number of scales but don't want to ask every participant to answer every scale. Thanks so much! @aera-motsig.bsky.social @aeraedresearch.bsky.social

Reminder to @aera-motsig.bsky.social folks that @aeraedresearch.bsky.social #AERA26 reviews are due this Friday! Every review helps--let's goooo!

"...in addition to creating motivationally supportive environments that promote persistence and deeper learning. When instructors understand their students’ motivation, it can unlock the type of engagement and behaviors meaningful for learning." @aera-motsig.bsky.social @aeraedresearch.bsky.social

Hey there @aera-motsig.bsky.social @aera-motsig-grad.bsky.social friends: review assignments can now be found in your email and in the #AERA2026 portal. They’re due September 5--looking forward to your thoughts on these submissions!

🚨 Thrilled to share that the first part of my dissertation, co-authored w/ @carltonfong.bsky.social, is now published in Journal of College Student Retention! We examined what predicts the college GPA for community college athletes. doi.org/10.1177/1521... @txst.edu @aera-motsig.bsky.social

🚨Submission call for the Journal of Cognition and Development! 🚨 @gundersonlab.bsky.social and I will be the guest editors for a special issue on "STEM Beyond the 'M': Expanding Research on STEM-Relevant Cognition and Motivation." Please share with anyone who may be interested! (1/15)

Meta-analysis shows no evidence of teachers' growth mindset being related student achievement. I do wonder if it might be for struggling students (i.e., akin to the mindset-plus-supportive-context hypothesis), but more research needed to explore that idea. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Worth a read, as is a related article by @carltonfong.bsky.social that's in this exchange!

The four blooms on one stem is my take on the daybreak star, the "herb of understanding" from a vision of Nicholas Black Elk. In 2024, we visited the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center in Seattle and learned about this symbol as a reminder of our strength in diversity and common humanity.

Excited to share the next session in the APA Division 15 Public Scholarship Series with you. I will be moderating this timely conversation hosted by the Div 15 Early Career Educational Psychologists (ECEP) Committee.

In this latest APA Division 15 podcast, Drs. Christine Bae and John Fife share how empowering learners requires taking sociocultural and critical perspectives on how we structure STEM classrooms: on.soundcloud.com/HiWN879rkWhc... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

I like how the authors compared a GenerativeAI chatbot to a rules-based AI. But it's unclear whether the rules-based AI enhanced learning, calling into question whether it was a strong control. Also... (1/2) #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Kudos to @yekim.bsky.social for her first opportunity (and certainly not the last!) to be a discussant at #AERA2025! She did a great job - addressed the strengths and areas for growth in each paper, synthesized the themes across them, and pointed to next steps for the field.

Really valuable discussion and feedback for Sydney today! Roundtable format for the win 👍

I’m always proud of the research assistants in my lab, but today is an especially proud day. At SHU’s Academic Festival, my students presented their work beautifully—and members of our lab earned three honorable mentions…

Just had this picture sent to me from a group of former doctoral advisees meeting up at the #AERA2025 conference who all now have professor positions. Proud mentor moment :)

I'm teaching a special topics course at Purdue called School Belonging: An Ecological Perspective. The course is fully remote, but I got a chance to meet some of my students in person! Their future is so bright! 🥰
