We've thought of some questions ourselves (screenshot below for inspo), but we want to know: what do YOU want to know about theorizing? Questions can be posted as replies here or emailed to me (kristy dot robinson at mcgill dot ca). @aeradivcgrad.bsky.social @aera-motsig.bsky.social 2/2

1. How can theory-enriching social connections or collaborations be facilitated for early career scholars, especially those who are not already plugged into influential networks in our field and/or for whom funding and support are limited?
2. Aside from each theory’s virtues and contributions, what other factors explain the influence and uptake of each theory (e.g., “branding” or signal-boosting beyond typical scholarly dissemination, timing of publishing, publishing and/or speaking at high volume about the theory, etc.)?
3. What are the structures, policies, or disciplinary practices that need to change to create opportunities for more and better theory development? What do you recommend to people in positions of leadership or power?

@jeffgreene.bsky.social & I are excited for our #AERA25 symposium "Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum: The Past, Present, and Future of Theory Development in Educational Psychology" We hope to see you there! In the meantime, we're crowd-sourcing questions for our star-studded panel of theorists. 1/2

Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum: The Past, Present, and Future of Theory Development in Educational Psychology
Fri, April 25, 3:20 to 4:50pm MDT (5:20 to 6:50pm EDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2B
Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract
Theories are important tools for understanding, questioning, and shaping the world. Yet, educational psychology has experienced a theory development “malaise” (Gigerenzer, 2010). To re-invigorate the field, in a recent topical collection published in Educational Psychology Review, authors described and reflected on the theory development processes that informed several major theories in educational psychology, to serve as guides and inspiration for aspiring theorists. As a complement to these articles, the aim of this session is to continue the conversation about theory development needs in the field and how to address them. Via an interactive panel discussion featuring authors of prominent educational psychology theories, we will uncover “hidden curriculum” of theory development and equip attendees with insights for improving their theorizing efforts.

Participants: Panayiota Kendeou; Jessica DeCuir-Gunby & Paul Schutz; Karen Harris; Richard Mayer; Doug Lombardi, Gale Sinatra, Janelle Bailey, & Lucas Butler; Patricia Alexander & Karen Murphy; Reinhard Pekrun; Sarit Barzilai & Clark Chinn

Discussant: Francesca López
