Excited to share a new paper by my grad student and myself, highlighting how classroom experiences such as positive classroom climate relate to changes in STEM motivational beliefs across the semester 🤸♀️🎉https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1m8Px,8E16MF-A
Day 1 of the semester and happy to meet my first batch of doctoral students and honours project mentees (pinch me!)🙏🏻 Just grateful for this opportunity (and challenge), which I will strive to do my very best!
The #AERA2026 submissions deadline has been extended one week to August 1, originally scheduled for July 25. We hope this extension will provide support during a time of funding losses and disruptions to work. www.aera.net/Events-Meeti...

In our new paper, we ran a 10-week experiment with Filipino high school students to test whether self-assessment diaries can boost learning and growth mindset. Those who engaged with diaries AND received teacher guidance had the biggest gains. Read further: doi.org/10.1080/0969...
Screenshot of title page of an article published in Educational Research Review titled "Scaffolding through prompts in digital learning: A systematic review and meta-analysis of effectiveness on learning achievement."
Helpful meta-analysis on what kinds of prompts are associated with improved learning in digital learning environments. Prompts tailored to participants and triggered by user actions, rather than being time-triggered, were most effective. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

While achievement goals have been researched heavily in the context of second language learning, there are also other types of goals that are equally crucial in studying how students learn a second language. Read our recent paper in SSLLT: doi.org/10.14746/ssl...
Another article in our special issue is out! In a GIANT study of over 15,000 students, 22 colleges, & ~400 local student identity groups, @katiekroe.bsky.social et al. “explore who gets to belong in college and what institutional leaders can do to expand these opportunities”

Quick break from academic stuff and share that @boniverwi.bsky.social’s SABLE, fABLE is out now! open.spotify.com/track/5NqTQL... “Day One” is what I currently have on repeat!
My work with Paul von Hippel on treatment effect heterogeneity was recently featured in this great article by Scott Sleek in the @psychscience.bsky.social Observer Magazine
Pretty cool article if I do say so myself!

💡 Excited to share our study, “From classroom goal structures to academic outcomes,” published in the European Journal of Psychology of Education! We found that mastery-oriented classroom environments boost self-efficacy and interest, enhancing achievement and future choices. doi.org/10.1007/s102...
Another piece of evidence supporting the "seed and soil" framing of growth mindset. A growth mindset (seed) is more strongly associated with positive outcomes in climates that support that mindset (soil). doi.org/10.1007/s112...

New book written by teachers for teachers (who happen to also be cognitive experts in learning)!
My chapter interleaving is probably one of my favorite things that I've written. I'm so excited about this book. The chapters are all digestible and concrete without sacrificing deeper understanding.
🚨New Paper Alert🚨
In a megastudy w/ 140k U.S. teachers on Zearn we tested 15 email campaigns nudging teachers to help their elementary school students progress in math. Our emails boosted math progress slightly (by 1.9%). Personalization added value. Led by A Duckworth.

We ran correlations with the strength of the moderating role of parental support on country-level collectivism and found a positive association from .35 to .51 (see below). Parental support effects on mindset-outcomes link is notable in collective contexts. A cross-cultural food for thought.💭
Some highlights✨
1️⃣ We found that, overall, parental support increases the growth mindset predictions on achievement/persistence
2️⃣ This is true in some countries, but not in others (variations are beyond east vs west comparison)
3️⃣ Post-hoc analyses showed collectivism has a role to play in variations
So happy to share our cross cultural study using the PISA data. Hyun Ji (from OSU) and I found cultural variations in how parental support can influence the mindset-achievement/persistence link, with stronger effects seen in collective cultures.

Thank you so much, Katie! This took a lot of inspiration with your work on growth-oriented teaching behaviors! Also @schu.etze.co and @veronicayan.bsky.social commentary at psych bulletin! I feel without the innovative work that you guys do, this wouldn’t have been conceptualized! Thank YOU!🙏🏻🫵🏻
In this conceptual + psychometric paper, we synthesized the literature to map the behavioral mechanisms that enables a growth mindset to influence achievement, then developed a scale to measure such behaviors.
So excited to share my work on behaviors that reflects a growth mindset🧠, or what we labeled as “growth practices”!💪🏻

Just got these unopened album CDs, second hand in Hong Kong! Anyone else a die hard @boniverwi.bsky.social fan here?
Highlights:
1️⃣ Students' L2 learning achievement is influenced by their classmates' achievement levels
2️⃣ This effect is stronger for students with higher intrinsic motivation
3️⃣ And those with higher behavioral and emotional engagement
📣Thrilled to share our new study in the British Journal of Educational Psychology. A rising tide lifts all boats: The social contagion of achievement in L2 classrooms and the role of intrinsic motivation and engagement. doi.org/10.1111/bjep... with Archie and @wilzondizon.bsky.social
🚨Job Alert: Project Assistants in Hong Kong!🚨
We are recruiting Full-Time Project Assistants who can help us work on our project focused on Sustainable Development Goals via Experiential Learning.

Some postdoc work is finally coming out of peer review! This is my first attempt to use latent growth curve modelling in the context of an intervention. Our study found that motor skills development increased object control skills and executive function. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
