This was such a fun experience with @rodriguesjm.bsky.social Thanks for highlighting our work @jeffgreene.bsky.social !
There's been great research on supporting students w/mathematics difficulties. Would that research be even better if we integrated ideas from cognitive load theory? Yes! Learn all about it on this episode of the Div15 podcast with Drs. Barbieri & Rodrigues! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

🚨New paper! We provide a balanced approach to discussing context‐level disadvantage and individual‐level agency (a focus of strength‐based research). This approach allows for a broader–a holistic–perspective on existing inequality research.

Hello BlueSky ed researchers 👋 I research math learning and motivation, like how middle-schoolers feel and experience the math classroom and how their classroom experiences relate to their mathematical thinking. I'm a doctoral student at Delaware & proud #AcaMama. Excited to connect with you all!
