Aggghhhhhh, teacher on @rteone.rte.ie discussing the '7 different learning styles' and the necessity to address all of them. I think learning styles is the rhodedendron of fake educational theories - once it takes root, it is virtually impossible to eradicate #educationalresearch

Horrifying and a warning that the owners of social media sites really don't really have a moral compass. Depressingly, the simple joy of sharing return-to-school photos with family and friends will now have to be a thing of the past. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just gently again reminding anyone newly interested in critical social science and humanities research on AI in education that the resources for your lit review are available from education researchers to be built upon - a partial but still long and updating selection going back a while ⬇️

New OA paper out now! We reviewed cultural factors in early school leaving across Europe and found things like cultural values, social barriers, and gender norms play a big role. Read it here: [https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/education/articles/10.3389/feduc.2025.1657806/full]. #OpenAccess

BERA is proud to share that we have now awarded over £500,000 in research funding since 2020. These investments have supported 69 research projects and fellowships that strengthen educational research and practice across the UK and internationally www.bera.ac.uk/news/bera-pa...

So it's a new academic year and perhaps a good time to share this again for new people on here. go.bsky.app/8FJAkMG

Happy Monday! Back-to-school day for many in Europe is a good occasion to highlight academic work with policy implications - from PhD candidates and early career researchers. Five great pieces in this list: geopoliticaleurope.substack.com/p/back-to-sc...

Thanks @garethoconnor.bsky.social - very interesting & challenging

Isn't it about time we actually did some work to address the potentially devastating impact of AI across the educational continuum? We seem to be falling into the trap again of allowing the tech take the lead without challenging their rationale or it's implications restofworld.org/2025/colombi...

This is brilliant- terrifying, frustrating & enraging - but brilliant. It is also a warning to anyone interested in research. Unless there is a focus on maintaining broad cultural support for all types of research catastrophic change can happen rapidly www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

I think I'd probably find the whole notion of banning kids from social media easier to swallow if adults accepted that it is also obviously driving them mad.
