If you've been wondering how people learn, or how things like GenAI affect how people learn, or how to help people teach and learn effectively, then you should talk to an educational psychologist. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Where do folks publish new educational measures these days?
I've been designing instruments to make it possible to quickly assess motivation and knowledge in classrooms, but now discover that it is nearly impossible to find a (Q1) journal in education that will review them.
Any leads?
Excited to see everyone in Denver this week. Check out the awesome work being presented by our lab! New time/location for our symposium featuring work from @jasonmharley.bsky.social @mattbernacki.bsky.social and others with discussants Reinhard Pekrun and @kristinasto.bsky.social. Not to be missed!

"Why should we fund #NSF research?"
The Internet, microchips, Google, smartphones, barcodes, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Doppler radar, American Sign Language (ASL), GPS mapping...
The innovations shaping modern life were made possible with help from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is **congressionally mandated** to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs.

What a great podcast with Drs. @courtneyhattan.bsky.social & @kendeou.bsky.social on new approaches to the science of learning! Excellent work integrating sociocultural factors, dynamic systems, & how knowledge affects reading. Check out the podcast here, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify! buff.ly/3CKQcGs

Now it comes w/ new cool features (e.g., Qualtrics integration). Though the Canvas integration takes some time/effort, it is FREE, & they give you a lot of help.
