Have you ever heard that students with disabilities are underrepresented in Ed Psych research? @ralouick, Justin Sabrowsky & I wanted to know exactly to what extent - so we reviewed 10 years of the field's top journals. Check out our results here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

If any #edpsych or #learningsciences folks need a code for the other place, shoot me a DM! I have one up for grabs.

@KuiXiePHD @MSUCollegeofEd @michiganstateu Yay! Congratulations, though I know OSU will miss you.

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my career. Day 1 as Chair of Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education @MSUCollegeofEd @michiganstateu Proud to be a part of an extraordinary College of Education! Go Green!!! edwp.educ.msu.edu/news/2023/big-…

@DrZheWang @carlton_fong @ProfessorEmery @EdPsychJournal Always happy to chat!

@carlton_fong @ProfessorEmery @EdPsychJournal Awesome, thank you! Will definitely give a read!

Looking for a scholar who uses qualitative methods to study emotion and motivation in learning settings. Any recommendation please?

@metzpsych Could you ask that last question: "What percentage of your appointment is devoted to teaching (instead of research or service)?" and then make the options percentage ranges?

@dr_carina_c_ So glad you got this exciting opportunity, Carina!

@carlton_fong Yay! Congrats!!

A little acrostic poem: Thank you to Everyone who Never gave up on me Uplifted me on this journey Raised me as a scholar Embraced me into community Dared to partner with me on this wild ride. TENURED!!!! 🙏

@benjaminheddy @GaleSinatra But Ohio State isn't in the tournament this year...?

March madness! My advisor @GaleSinatra picks teams based on her favorite educational psychology programs. And often does well with this strategy 😂

@JeffGreeneLearn Agree! Some students respond poorly to mastery structures in my class because they KNOW how to ‘succeed’ and survive w/ performance structures. Learning and trusting a new approach requires significant effort, and for what? It’s incongruent with the rest of their classes.

...b/c motivation and emotion are complex phenomena influenced by lots of factors beyond the classroom itself (e.g., school climate, family life, etc.). Even the best mastery motivation intervention has to work in the context of other powerful factors in a student's life...

I'm a big fan of research on cognition & learning; there is strong evidence for teaching students particular strategies that really seem to work well in most cases. Motivation & emotions matter too, but research in those areas seem to get more criticism, and I'm wondering why...

And, for the Ames/ISU community, here's a way to materially support Alicen's family in the immediate future: mealtrain.com/trains/yngezl

ISU has lost a bright light, and my days are also darker without her. Many colleagues (including @another_baker, from whom I "inherited" Alicen but who was still working with her closely) are also in mourning right now. Consider reaching out if any ISU folks are in your orbit. 7/

Today I'm grieving my co-advisee @AlicenMorley, who was the first learning sciences doc student at ISU. Alicen was an accomplished & authentic educator; students loved her, and if I tried to explain why she was a master of the craft, this thread would become a textbook. 1/

@carlton_fong Congratulations! It's an open-and-shut case :)

Tenure dossier officially submitted today!!! 👍🤞🏼🙏

The following positions are on the 2023 SIG's ballot: Chair-Elect/Program Chair (1 year) Secretary/Treasurer (2 years) Communications Coordinator (2 years) Junior Graduate Student Coordinator (1 year) Email

@Eanderman @carlton_fong I’d be more interested in a review of the major topics, samples, and methods that have been published! That seems like useful insight into editorial decision-making, reviewing priorities/influence, and field trends.

@carlton_fong These studies trouble me because they (a) don’t acknowledge the many ed psychologists who disseminate their work more broadly and (b) emphasize performance goals/social comparison; publishing “rankings” seems to contradict what much of our motivation work suggests we should do.

Our productivity study based on #EdPsych journals from 2015-2021 is out in EDPR! In addition to identifying top-producing institutions & authors, we feature #ECR productivity and examine trends in collaboration and international participation. 🧵1/3 rdcu.be/cU5VK

@jacasiegel Not after I begin my work of interpreting. IPA is doubly-hermeneutic; it's the researcher making sense of participants' sense-making. The final results ultimately reflect what I bring to the data. Other methods, like narrative inquiry, are better suited to center participants.

I am a proponent of involving participants in the research process, to ensure that they have agency in it and that they feel comfortable with the way we have used their data. But I have not seen this as common practice in IPA.

Folks who use interpretative phenomenological analysis, to what extent do you involve your research participants in the process? Do they review your analysis of their narratives? Why or why not?
