Teaching students how to learn changes more than effort—it changes the pattern of their learning. A brief SRL intervention made study habits more regular & organized all semester, boosting grades. bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
Great point - many people think we have one thing called "motivation" but in fact we have many "motivationS." Knowing what types of motivation we have, and how to control them, is really important. Thanks!
Once again, this strategy assumes the person using the GenAI knows enough to evaluate the quality of the outputs and adjust the prompts accordingly. But that’s not how GenAI is marketed. They claim we can use GenAI to learn. I think GenAI is only good for performance.
Someone asked me for the take-home message from this meta-analysis. I think one is that we need to teach people to monitor and control their motivation, so they can persist through cognitively demanding tasks. Motivation is controllable. What do you think @carltonfong.bsky.social ?
"Well-regulated learners...are also regulating their motivation to feel efficacious, see value in the task, and expend effort, which partly result in completing the task and performing well in school." #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/edu0...
Great! I think the basic idea, which @drandreahoward.bsky.social articulated above, would be to have people ask a GenAI about a topic they know little about, then rate the trustworthiness/usefulness/etc. of GenAI, then have them ask questions about a topic they were expert in, then rate it again.
...they do less of it, and thus gather less data that could be used to revise beliefs or anchors. The takeaway? Children and older adults may need supports to continue thinking and gathering data to refine their beliefs.
Why are young children & older adults more prone to stick to their prior beliefs and/or to be influenced by anchors (e.g., "This costs $500.")? The authors argue it's b/c cognitive processing is more costly for children & older adults, so... doi.org/10.1037/rev0... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
Not at all! Good ideas sometimes require some elaboration. 🧠

Of course! “…And that’s why you should be teaching to ALL the learning styles. Up next: why you shouldn’t and even cannot multitask. But first a word from our good friends at Hefty! If you’re like me, you spill things a lot - and therefore you need Hefty!…” 😜
