I like the idea of providing metacognition prompts while students use GenAI. Unfortunately, in this study, metacognition/SRL was measured via self-report, which capture perceptions of SRL more than actual use. bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

General rules from cognitive science need to be adapted through a filter of subject specificity if we are to really get effective subject teaching, argue @mikehobbiss.bsky.social and @paulclinepsy.bsky.social
Why subjects need their own take on the ‘cogsci revolution’
While the use of cognitive science research can aid teaching, it needs to be filtered and combined with the unique demands of individual subjects, argue Mike Hobbiss and Paul Cline

Always so grateful for the opportunity to share my work with other examiners and discuss their thoughts on my research from a different lens.

Plenty to get stuck into, but for now, a break 😌
