I don't care if this makes me a dinosaur. If I found out that a writer had used a solitary line of AI I would never read them again. If I thought someone had used AI in an email to me, I would never respond or indeed respect them again.
If you know any teachers of #psychology who might be looking for a new challenge or next step in September, we’re looking for a maternity cover 😊🙏
Please share with anyone you think might be interested and get in touch if you have any questions 👍

This is so, so good.
If you teach A-Level Psychology and aren't taking advantage of these fantastics resources from Mike, what are you even doing?
It’s a great article. Tell her I enjoyed reading it!
Pleased to have contributed a small part to this (with @mikehobbiss.bsky.social ) but far more proud to have a student I teach have an article published in the 'student corner' section - such a great enrichment opportunity!
Question from an examiner not currently teaching. Would they still be eligible?

Looks great. Will do!
Those two papers were very influential for my thinking about core questions and meaningful knowledge. I think writing anything like that does sometimes feel like you’re shouting into the void, but people do read them!
And @cmooreanderson.bsky.social !
NEW BLOG!

Congratulations to Julian @sccenglish.bsky.social on reaching this milestone. The Fortnightly is a consistently enlightening read and has been an avenue to a number of wonderful new books and experiences I would never otherwise have discovered. Here’s to the next 200!
Ok great thanks. So is there data suggesting that about KIPP school students struggle in HE? I’ve just had a brief scan and could only find non-sig differences eg chartercoalition.org/wp-content/u...
@drsamsims.bsky.social - is John Jerrim on Bluesky? Any other leads on the above? 🤗
Yes I agree. And also agree with @paulclinepsy.bsky.social that it seems like it *should* exist somewhere
A colleague of mine told me confidently the other day that “kids from Michaela School really struggle at university, and loads drop out”. Apparently this has been documented somewhere… but they were a bit vague on exactly where.
Anyone?
We can employ a confidence ‘trick’ - to kickstart useful habits and routines Teach the content , use focussed study techniques , use assessment so success is likely - potentially supporting positive beliefs, motivation and feedback. @paulclinepsy.bsky.social and @mikehobbiss.bsky.social
How do we develop independent learners - have been left with lots to think about from this with @paulclinepsy.bsky.social and @mikehobbiss.bsky.social
Plus practical ideas around task design, effective homework, and how the KBCP model can help us improve course design and teaching in this area
This was a fun discussion with @mikehobbiss.bsky.social and @benwhitewaldenkent.bsky.social on how we can foster independent learning in our students, taking in motivational theory, and the KBCP framework along the way (this time with the right post quoted with the actual link!)

This was a fun conversation with @benwhitewaldenkent.bsky.social and @paulclinepsy.bsky.social, picking at the threads of independent learning to reveal the bigger underlying issues of curriculum and assessment design
Lovely new review of ‘How to Teach Psychology’ on Goodreads

Still time to treat that special #Psychology teacher (or even English teacher, based on this review) in your life before Xmas!

😬. And I guess that wasn’t referenced anywhere in the criteria?
Sorry - missed this reply initially. I assume the former, as the latter would be too awful to believe!
(as just alluded to by @mrpigottmaths.bsky.social on a sub thread too)

So I get that from the uni's perspective... but for this to work for individual students it relies on the margin of error bar being consistent at an individual level across the whole population doesn't it? It's the same issue of wanting individual accuracy from group level data isn't it?
Yeah loads of that with us too
The number of our students who went through clearing last year (after grades both higher and lower than those predicted)... and the readiness of universities to accommodate them, makes me feel like we're moving slowly towards a post-assessment system anyway
Everyone keeps reassuring me that it’s ok, as universities know not to take them seriously… but that’s not much of a consolation for all the hours everyone still has to put into the system 😂
Oh yes I entirely agree with you. The problems run much deeper, (even if an ‘accurate’ were theoretically possible, which as you say it probably isn’t either). My frustration in this case is the amount of time and effort that we are all forced to put into a system which everyone knows doesn’t work
Yes definitely other pressures on them… which make them even less useful as ‘predictions’ and even more of a waste of everyone’s time
