It was AI week in our Learning Theories seminar today--we have been excited for this topic all semester. We were very fortunate to have Dr. Lora Kaldaras (UH's new professor of Artificial Intelligence, Teaching, and Learning) come chat with us. @poojaroy0514.bsky.social @zachbaquet.bsky.social (1/N)

Hard to believe the semester is almost over! Our exit ticket today in Achievement Motivation was to make a mind map of everything we learned this semester. They only had 20 minutes and didn't finish yet, but I loved this activity and wanted to share them. 😍 @zachbaquet.bsky.social 1/4

Today in Achievement Motivation, we had an extremely interesting conversation with @dustinthoman.bsky.social about interest! We talked about how important the social context can be for supporting (or harming) the development of interest, particularly for students with stigmatized identities.

Attended a research meeting today, and a researcher expressed concern that the study will be flagged because we made it possible for patients who only speak Spanish to enroll. I admittedly died a little bit inside. Hard to believe this current state is reality. #StandUpforScience

We investigated belonging as complementary to expectancies and values and found that competence beliefs & perceptions of course importance and cost related to final course grade; crs interest related to contemporaneous grades during course (2/4)

A simplified version of Eccles & Wigfield (2020) SEVT Model, including belonging as on the same level with expectancies and values as predicting choice and performance

In our faculty meeting today, we discussed retrieval practice and the counter-intuitive concept that one must forget in order to learn. We shared Tom Sherrignton’s @teacherhead.bsky.social blog post and asked teachers to choose a few strategies to focus on in the coming weeks. bit.ly/3CCUdwR
