...and ethical issues with using LLMs to create summative assessment/grades based on learning progressions. Really fascinating discussion! (4/N)

We talked about how AI can support higher order thinking through formative assessment (still a huge challenge!), how exactly AI can help teachers (helping them understand where each student is in a learning progression), iterative processes in learning progressions, ...(2/N)

A group of UH graduate students on a Teams class meeting call with Dr. Master and Dr. Lora Kaldaras.

It was AI week in our Learning Theories seminar today--we have been excited for this topic all semester. We were very fortunate to have Dr. Lora Kaldaras (UH's new professor of Artificial Intelligence, Teaching, and Learning) come chat with us. @poojaroy0514.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social (1/N)

WIM Lab

Hi all! Having recently moved to @uh.edu, I’ll be reviewing graduate applications to join the newly minted Worldviews in Motion lab for Fall 2026! Please share with anyone who might be interested 😊

For lab info, check out our (though it’s mostly me atm) website: www.abdoelnakouri.com

Just filled out a web survey with a bunch of Likert-type items. The response categories were in the same order on each item, but not the order you'd expect:

fairly important
important
unimportant
very important

Pretty sure "alphabetize response categories" is not best practice in survey design.

Historical and experimental evidence that inherent properties are overweighted in early scientific explanation

💖This paper has been ~11 years in the making - and probably my favorite project of all time. Thrilled to see it in @pnas.org! I'm so lucky that Zach decided to do a second PhD and join my lab @psychillinois.bsky.social back in 2014 - a fabulous scientist & human being! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Three graduate students holding up their Lego creations.

We had a great discussion about classroom barriers, safe classroom climates where we aren't afraid of making mistakes, emotions, and things that affect our outcome and efficacy expectations. Also, we all loved Summer's Lego cat! 🥰

A 3-in-1 Lego set showing the designs students could build.

Once again, the person with no box or instructions finished first, with a creative design but a little bit of boredom. The others were more focused and also enjoyed the experience.

Return of Ben Heddy's Lego self-efficacy activity today in Achievement Motivation class! Students built a Lego set with 1) the box and the instructions, 2) just the box but no instructions, or 3) no box AND no instructions. @tjroyuh.bsky.social @summerrobinson.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social
