“I see from your article title that I disagree with your findings/implications. I found titles of other articles that seem to support my view. What do you say to that?” “Ummm. Have you read any of the articles?” “No. Why would I do that? Just explain it to me 180 characters at a time.”

Another deeply troubling data point. The magnitude of the challenges facing our educational systems can hardly be overstated.

As SCOTUS prepares to decide whether Tennessee is violating the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment by prohibiting healthcare for trans adolescents, we thought this would be a great time to re-announce: Trans kids – like all kids- thrive when they get the healthcare they need!

Across social sciences, almost anyone who claims to have affirmatively proved something is brandishing their hubris, but in non-LS spaces people tend to use theories as causal accounts that are durable across spaces. The dedication to local causality in LS makes “theory” a fairly tenuous concept.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

Has anyone else had this experience? A discussant in a session where I presented made some general comments and then turned to individual papers, but announced that he would only give formative comments and because my talk was on something already published, he would not talk about it. Thoughts?

Is it bad that my biggest political hope at the moment is that the first cabinet meeting of the incoming administration plays out like the final scene of The Stand by Stephen King?

As an Associate Dean for Research, I don't think people are prepared for how dramatically the funding landscape is going to change with the new administration. Some things I've been thinking about:

In class this term, we’ve been dissecting the arguments of longstanding debates in the learning sciences/ed psych. It’s fascinating and depressing how 1) despite the separate topics, it’s really the same argument playing out over and over again and 2) it’s always about values more than evidence.

A big challenge for measurement in the learning sciences is that key LS theories specify context is intrinsic to learning (e.g., situated cognition) but traditional validation assumes variables exclude context. My book gives a new strategy for measurement models that include context. a.co/d/h8ufndo
