In our new paper, we ran a 10-week experiment with Filipino high school students to test whether self-assessment diaries can boost learning and growth mindset. Those who engaged with diaries AND received teacher guidance had the biggest gains. Read further: doi.org/10.1080/0969...

Helpful meta-analysis on what kinds of prompts are associated with improved learning in digital learning environments. Prompts tailored to participants and triggered by user actions, rather than being time-triggered, were most effective. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

While achievement goals have been researched heavily in the context of second language learning, there are also other types of goals that are equally crucial in studying how students learn a second language. Read our recent paper in SSLLT: doi.org/10.14746/ssl...

New book written by teachers for teachers (who happen to also be cognitive experts in learning)!
My chapter interleaving is probably one of my favorite things that I've written. I'm so excited about this book. The chapters are all digestible and concrete without sacrificing deeper understanding.

The book features scientists @lkfazio.bsky.social @drcindynebel.bsky.social @stevencpan.bsky.social @veronicayan.bsky.social. They're teachers, too!
It isn't science-y at all. AND it's short: 10 chapters, only 10 pages each #EduSky

🚨New Paper Alert🚨
In a megastudy w/ 140k U.S. teachers on Zearn we tested 15 email campaigns nudging teachers to help their elementary school students progress in math. Our emails boosted math progress slightly (by 1.9%). Personalization added value. Led by A Duckworth.

We ran correlations with the strength of the moderating role of parental support on country-level collectivism and found a positive association from .35 to .51 (see below). Parental support effects on mindset-outcomes link is notable in collective contexts. A cross-cultural food for thought.💭

So happy to share our cross cultural study using the PISA data. Hyun Ji (from OSU) and I found cultural variations in how parental support can influence the mindset-achievement/persistence link, with stronger effects seen in collective cultures.
