MANY CONGRATULATIONS to the newly minted Dr. Lee @learning100525!!! She shone presenting her groundbreaking dissertation study on the experiences of women of colour in higher ed computer science. We are SO PROUD! 🎓🔥🎉

[MILES Lab @MILESLab]

Today @sanheetashankar and @learning100525 delivered a TA training on how to support students' #motivation for @mcgillu Faculty of Science. We LOVE sharing research-based principles and strategies for making students', TAs, and instructors jobs easier and happier! @McGillTLS

[MILES Lab @MILESLab]

How we're feeling about #AERA24 decisions today. Congrats to @sanheetashankar, @colejohnson_ed, and @l_j_alley for their accepted first-authored contributions. See you in Philly, friends! #FridayFeeling

👀👀👀📢📢📢 new lab publication just dropped! #motivation #newpubalert

[Dr. Kristy A. Robinson @krisarob]

Postprint now available here: https://t.co/JsW8pITCSW

Students vary in their perceptions of teachers’ motivational supports, even within the same classroom, but the how and why of this is unclear. We explored demographic differences in university students’ perceptions...

[Dr. Kristy A. Robinson @krisarob]

#tbt to our lucky day: a visit from the amazing @BetsyMcCoach! On Monday, she joined a joint @MILESLab + @JkayFlake lab meeting to consult on our ongoing #SSHRC project, then spoke to @Edumcgill about her fascinating work. Thank you very much, Dr. McCoach!

[MILES Lab @MILESLab]

#tbt to our 2022 pub: Perceptions of instructor connections to real life & enthusiasm predicted motivation trajectories, + trajectories differed on grade & major outcomes. Ss’ open-ended responses revealed variety in “what works”--and how--for students in intro STEM courses.

[Dr. Kristy A. Robinson @krisarob]

I am beyond pleased to announce the acceptance of the first @MILESLab publication, now available as a pre-proof on CEP's site:

“You know what, I can do this”: Heterogeneous Joint Trajectories of Expectancy for Success and Attainment Value in Chemistry

[MILES Lab @MILESLab]

#tbt to @learning100525's 2022 paper examining motivational profiles of 3 task values, self-efficacy, & 3 perceived costs among undergrads in intro chemistry courses. One finding: Asian students were most likely to be in the profile w/ the highest levels of psychological costs.

[Dr. Kristy A. Robinson @krisarob]

Many congrats to @learning100525 for her 1st-authored study just accepted to CEP! The 2nd @MILESLab acceptance this week! 🎉 Check it out:

How can you encourage your students to stay motivated all semester?

Find out what @KrisaRob at @MILESLab found from her research in Classroom Motivation in this mini clip from the April Colloquium. ⬇️

[Yuchen Song 宋雨辰 Ph.D. @Yuchen_EdPsych]

Today is a good day. Our lab met with @MILESLab to discuss all things related to coding video data. And @StephanyDRea and I had a meeting brainstorming an upcoming intervention work. It’s days like this that makes me feel so belonged in the community of motivation researchers. 😊

[MILES Lab @MILESLab]

#tbt to last week's fun at @SALTISE and @ISLS2023. Great work, @sanheetashankar, @learning100525, & @QiyuanZheng2! And many thanks to those who stopped by and engaged in thought-provoking conversations!
