It’s a tough time for STEM education research right now, but we are still excited to share our new PNAS paper, “Divergence in children’s gender stereotypes and motivation across STEM fields”! We have big surveys (2,765 students in Grades 1-12), 2 pre-registered studies, and open data. (1/13)

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

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3):
Promoting autonomy in thinking!
Ask students to explain their reasoning, compare ideas, & explore multiple approaches.
A simple shift from, “What do you choose?” to “How are you thinking about this?” can build deeper engagement and independent learning ✨

Conservatives claim that structural racism does not exist while simultaneously creating innovative new forms of structural racism like banning discussions of the concept.

“The policy defines race ideology as, among other things, ‘a concept that attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity.’”
These GOP-led efforts will ruin their states’ public universities. Sad!

Hi methodologists! My grad student is looking for a good reference paper that uses moderated hierarchical multiple linear regression on a dataset with multiple imputation, or a guide on how to write up the results. Does anyone have any good leads for him? Thanks so much! @aeraedresearch.bsky.social
