Why Kids Aren’t Falling in Love With Reading - The Atlantic

tl:dr answer: Because we over-measure and over-standardize so many aspects of learning in schools that the joy has been completely lost https://t.co/dQ4iF1chaQ

“Those moments of even finding I’m wrong, there is some pleasure in that.”

Thank you, Dr. Kahneman for your contributions to science and your intellectual humility. May you rest in peace.

@kthompso @SAGEPublishers Congrats! This is so exciting, Kelvin!

Good advice for doc students who want to publish before they graduate

I submitted four single-authored journal articles during my PhD (defended May 2022).

All four were published. Acceptance rate: 100%

Here's how I did it:

I have no opinion on what’s going on with @Peloton, BUT the new CEO’s first principle “Be stubborn in vision, flexible on details” should be the mantra of every new or transforming school. /1

This is the way (for beliefs research). Discourse analysis gives such rich insight into participants’ beliefs.

Unless there’s sufficient justification (eg, studying espoused beliefs), I hope, as a field, we move away self-reports of beliefs

[Carita Kiili @ckiili]

Happy to share our new study where we examined how well upper secondary school students justified the credibility of online texts from four different perspectives.https://t.co/UHvJ5UjgVr @ivabra @helgestr @mshagerman @TampereUni_EDU

@ckiili @ivabra @helgestr @mshagerman @TampereUni_EDU What a well-designed study on a timely and important topic!

Play is not a fun “add on” to the early childhood curriculum. It’s essential for promoting healthy development

“Four-year-olds need lots of time to play, create, socialize, take initiative, figure things out on their own, and learn to manage themselves.”

Not every question needs to be answered with multiple items. It depends on the construct

[Aidan Wright @aidangcw]

Are single item measures viable in psychological science? Here's a paper that discusses when they might fly. https://t.co/781K9RstGm

Yep

"I felt extremely pandered to by the latest Boba Fett episode" and "it was my favorite Star Wars thing since the Clone Wars finale" are two statements that can and should coexist

[Michele Gregoire Gill @edpsychprof]

My students are so, so stressed these days.

Thanks for @bornfitness for this idea of "minimum effective dose" for health and fitness that he's developing for new book.

I used his ideas to restructure my online modules, and it seems to be helping

[Michele Gregoire Gill @edpsychprof]

Agreed. Why do we accept kids’ dislike of school as something normative?

[Garrett Smiley 🙂 @gw_smiles]

Educators, school administrators, and parents glaze over a harsh reality — kids don’t like school. They seem to have forgotten that kids withdraw in environments that don't excite them and thrive in environments that do.

[Michele Gregoire Gill @edpsychprof]

If I had the bandwidth, I’d love to write one of these

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

Someone should write a book for kids called How to Handle Your Difficult Parents
Possible chapters: "The Behavioral Challenges of the Middle-Aged Brain," "How to Be Caring but Firm in Resisting a Controlling Parent," "When Mom or Dad's Self-Esteem Hinges on Your Accomplishments"
