Our latest research proposes a shift in how we think about AI in education. It focuses on designing systems that respond to students’ emotional and cognitive needs, not just delivering answers. Sharing the press release here: adelaideuni.edu.au/about/news/2...

I had the opportunity to present our Fraser Mustard Centre work at the UNESCO Global Alliance on the Science of Learning meeting in Paris last week. Good conversations about evidence, systems, and implementation. And yes, the pastries delivered. #ScienceOfLearning

My colleague Samuel Fowler and I presented our work on self-regulated learning at the inaugural research colloquium of the University of Koblenz Future Forum: Rethinking Teacher Education. We're grateful to Prof Kirsten Winkel for the invitation. www.uni-koblenz.de/de/newsroom/...

Does AI help uni students learn smarter or just faster? Our research shows that students' SRL skills play a role in whether students adopt AI as a meaningful learning aid or merely a quick solution for academic tasks. Led by my colleague A/Prof Negin Mirriahi www.unisa.edu.au/media-centre...

📢 We're conducting a meta-analysis and seeking grey literature or peer-reviewed articles providing at least one statistical metric of the relation btw #metacognition and socio-economic status (SES). If you have any relevant research, please send it to [email protected]. Thank you!

Here's a nice summary of our latest paper on trust in algorithmic decision-making: unisa.edu.au/media-centre...

Does smartphone use make people feel lonelier? Or does loneliness predict smartphone use? We combined experience sampling data with smartphone usage data to examine the bidirectional association between well-being and smartphone use over time. Published in @apajournals.bsky.social Emotion! 🧵 👇
