Very happy to share a new paper, out in Developmental Psychology, that explores why math and science course support isn’t always enough to help with career plan development. We find that course and career motivation develop distinctly during college and each relate to different outcomes:

A survey of 2600 Ph.D. students, postdocs, and other researchers in 65 countries found that top three complaints were that supervisors: 1) used dismissive communication 2) provided little feedback 3) ignored team members’ well-being The main thing they wanted was empathy

To solve this problem, there are things individual students need to do & there are things higher education & society need to do. The latter two need to decrease the pressures placed on students' time, increase the value & meaning of what they teach, & emphasize long-term learning not punishments.

Attending #AERA2025? 👀 Might I recommend adding this exciting Division C invited session focused on navigating ✨messy✨ educational research? Friday, April 25th 11:40am - 1:10pm MDT Colorado Convention Center Meeting Room Level, Room 102 tinyurl.com/26yk9g7h

Navigating educational research: Key decisions, challenges, and ethical choices in messy data collection and analysis

Here's what you can expect:
Educational research is "messy," especially when taking new and innovative approaches or adapting to the ever-changing political, social, cultural, and educational landscapes. This session provides opportunities for researchers to share the messiness of research, past challenges, and encourage scholars to instead feel empowered to think about innovative research practices.
Following a series of Pecha Kucha style presentations, audience members will participate in a brief workshop challenging them to embrace the messiness and challenges in their current projects.

Speakers:
- Dr. Carlton Fong
- Dr. Daniela Digiacomo
- Taylor Cummings, Ph.D. candidate
- Destiny Williams-Dobosz, Ph.D. candidate

Session chairs:
- Dr. Xiao-Yin Chen
- Dr. Korinthia D. Nicolai

Details:
Meeting Room Level, Level 102

Are you a teacher looking to motivate your students? Students tend to be more motivated when they believe their teacher sees their potential—in other words, when they believe their teacher has a growth mindset about student ability.
