"...we advocate for a broader intellectual architecture, where methodological sophistication supports theoretical ambition."
I enjoyed and appreciated this article on theory development in motivation science. Such reflection is welcome.

Hypothesis: the real innovation and value will come from the outer two circles but they are hard to market, so people are marketing the hell out of the inner two circles to pay for the innovations in the outer two.
Four nested circles of increasing size labeled from smallest to largest as: large language model, generative ai, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

This review of the literature results in a promising model for "Learning analytics-supported formative assessment." It's important to differentiate descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive AI techniques from #GenAI. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

This article does a nice job of delineating the many challenges in developing an AI-based General Personal Tutor. There are numerous relevant factors, all of which dynamically interact over time. Tough to model and design for. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

I've been toying with more of an "advertising" approach to promoting ideas from educational psychology and the learning sciences. Here's one on growth mindset, using stock video from Adobe Express. Just a little fun experiment, and I welcome feedback.

Interesting review documenting the rise in scholarship on visual misinformation, how it is more persuasive than text misinformation, and how #GenAI is both increasing visual misinformation content and being used to combat it. (!)

Hey entrepreneurs who think #GenAI is the solution to all of education's problems! I think you're wrong, but if you want to be right, start by reading this article and designing your GenAI to do everything it recommends. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1177/2372...

New Special Issue of Educational Psychologist titled: "Race-Focused Research in Educational Psychology"! Four articles + one commentary on what I think is one of the most important issues facing the field today.

File this under: things I find funny that likely no one else will.
A picture of the classic "is this a butterfly" meme where the person is labeled as "SRL Researchers", the butterfly is labeled "Learning", and the text the person is saying is "Is this self-regulated learning?"

Big takeaway: For students with disabilities, truly individualized plans are required by law. “Personalized learning” is encouraged, not required. “Differentiation” rarely appears in policy. Important differences and implications. doi.org/10.1080/0936... #AcademicSky #EduSky

Hey all you "Teachers need to do a better job educating kids to think critically" shouters: when teachers don't feel valued and don't have the resources they need, both teachers and students struggle. www.edchoice.org/2025-school-...
Figure showing half of teachers believe K-12 education is going well in their local school district, and 25% believe it's going well nationwide.

You should be reading @stephenaguilar.com's newsletter on AI for lots of reasons, and in particular this edition because of the wild story about how ChatGPT did not, in fact, solve open math problems. The last paragraph is preposterous.
preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...
Screenshot of story about ChatGPT not "solving" open math problems as previously claimed. The last paragraph says, "Sebastien Bubeck, an OpenAI researcher who’d also been touting GPT-5’s accomplishments, then acknowledged that “only solutions in the literature were found,” but he suggested this remains a real accomplishment: “I know how hard it is to search the literature.”

This dairy and interview study, using a Human-Centered AI lens, details a useful taxonomy of #GenAI roles in supporting human work as well as skills users need to use GenAI thoughtfully. Ethical questions remain, of course.

Universal social and emotional learning (SEL) programs had positive effects on academic achievement, detectable in elementary but not beyond. Effects stronger in literacy than math, and for longer compared to shorter programs. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/...

Great night with @gotowerscope.com at the @uncschoolofed.bsky.social Alumni Awards Dinner. Such inspiring award winners, each of whom showed how education promotes agency in the self, and how that, in turn, can be used to propel agency in others.

Becoming an expert, a process universities begin at the undergrad level and finish in grad school, is like Prego pasta sauce. Experts have integrated knowledge, skills, dispositions, norms, etc. It's (all) in there! Professors curate that process. GenAI cannot. (2/2)

I *think* the author would agree with @kevinmkruse.bsky.social's take above, but this quote from the article suggests the author does not fully grasp how knowledge is fundamentally entwined with the "premium skills" (e.g., reasoning, argument, norms, practices) they are arguing for. (1/2)
Screenshot of text from the article that reads: "The Value Migration. The real value is migrating from information transfer to judgment development, from transactional learning to transformational learning. In an AI saturated world, premium skills are distinctly human: verification of sources, contextual decision-making, ethical reasoning under ambiguity, and accountability for real-world outcomes."

Your LMS clicks say more than you think. 🖱️💭
New research shows that students’ digital traces—like opening readings or requesting hints—can reveal how they self-regulate learning.

I'm not surprised there was no effect of music on attention performance. The task was too short and inauthentic. I'd like to see this research conducted using students' actual schoolwork, varying the degree in interest in the music played.

The ability to ignore distracting information may be more task-specific than general. That suggests successfully ignoring distractors in one context doesn't mean someone automatically be good at it in another context. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
