Industrial & organizational psychologist, trying to positively transform assessment systems and help us be positively transformed by them. #MedEd#assessment
@mededdoc Here’s another: if you have a printer where you have to manually flip the paper to get a printout double-sided, this icon in the paper tray tells you how to put it in!
@chsto8@vicki_leblanc@WalterTava@RC_SimSummit Thanks Christina and Vicki! I’m trying to really lean into the remote work world - it’s been such an unlock for me! All the tech is mostly just for fun though. 😆
@RC_SimSummit kicks off day 2 with a stimulating conversation on thinking differently about simulation based assessments. What are we trying to measure and what are we trying to achieve? How do we honor and sample diverse voices?
Tomorrow @TestTransformed (Dr. Matt Lineberry) and I, with help from @rbrydges, talk about "thinking "differently about simulation-based assessment" at the @Royal_College@RC_SimSummit virtual conference. Join us if you can! https://t.co/MbMbPYbJH3
@yogawithadriene: all possible thanks!! I have experienced incredibly deep transformation... "enlightenment" level stuff, which is hilarious and serious all at once. :)
Your teaching (e.g. "no pushing, no forcing") helped me so much in that. Thanks, deeply.
The key takeaway for me here is, when comparing survey results across groups or across time, "a unitary concept of change is inappropriate and may be seriously misleading."

#MedEd research friends: here's a killer #BlastFromThePast!
I adore their insights on "change concepts" in longitudinal survey research - and despair how little this thinking gets applied after *45* years.
DM for the PDF!

@mededdoc I definitely see this risk - thanks for calling it out Tony!
It can be very easy to slip from "inquiry" to "quasi-program evaluation, that is actually marketing, meant to trumpet our work and/or preconceived notions."
This seems especially perilous in applied work!
@mededdoc@meredithyoung1@YoonSooPark2@sherbino To shake things up:
We shouldn't confound "inferential stats" with the dominant toolset "null hypothesis stat testing". Bayesian inference is a whole different toolset that supports much more than the "null rejected"/"null not rejected" conclusions

@kristaeckels@Kialo @StefanTimmerma6 Yes! @kialo is fascinating… I’m also interested in https://t.co/jvrwnwq9bL. Discourse about work, standards, assessment, etc. is powerful stuff!!
@mededdoc@LaraVarpio@sherbino@drjfrank @LindaSMedEd @Kind4Kids@AKonopasky @abbattist The Latin geek in me notes that "fact" comes from the root "facere", "to do", as in "things that happened."
So I'll say instead, "Even very small amounts of beliefs cause people to do a lot of things, which then become facts." 🤣
