Thank you. Being seen in this way means so much. #acdemicsky #danceeducation
It's been a big PhD month for me!

As the semester progresses and approaches the end, shelf entropy increases and the vertical-to-horizontal book alignment ratio approaches zero. 📚📚📚 #booksky #acdemicsky
I really picked an idea time to write a masters thesis on detainment and immigration law didn’t I? #acdemicsky

Usually, I'm an archive geek and a Pacific Historian, but today I'm drafting a policy brief about the circular economy, Australia, India & Higher Ed.
You can't say a history PhD is limiting. My skill development is through the roof.
But not the glass ceiling. That's asking too much.

#acdemicsky is presumably the tag for this sort of passionate affair.

Hello to the 4.9% of #acdemicsky that are here just for the memes and the shitposting and nobody else.

I'm going through and adding alt-text to old slides and chatGPT is great when the image is a quote of text: just copy and paste in and have a relatively good prompt. #acdemicSky.
"7 per cent of

thought it was permissible to discuss the case with family and friends;" this whole paper is wild. www.ucl.ac.uk/judicial-ins... #acdemicsky
At some point academics in general have to reckon with the enormous entitlement inherent in the field. #acdemicsky

Rank: 1, Area: Instruction, Category: Assessment, Variable: Student peer-assessment. Rank: 2, Area: Student, Category: Motivation, Variable: Performance self-efficacy. Rank: 3, Area: Instruction, Category: Stimulating meaningful learning, Variable: Teacher’s preparation/organization of the course. Rank: 4, Area: Instruction, Category: Presentation, Variable: Teacher’s clarity and understandableness. Rank: 5, Area: Student, Category: Motivation, Variable: Grade goal. Rank: 6, Area: Student, Category: Strategies, Variable: Frequency of class attendance. Rank: 7, Area: Student, Category: Intelligence and prior achievement, Variable: High school GPA. Rank: 8, Area: Instruction, Category: Assessment, Variable: Student self-assessment. Rank: 9, Area: Instruction, Category: Presentation, Variable: Teacher’s stimulation of interest in the course and its subject matter.
Variables Associated With Achievement in Higher Education: A Systematic Review of Meta-Analyses Michael Schneider and Franzis Preckel University of Trier The last 2 decades witnessed a surge in empirical studies on the variables associated with achievement in higher education. A number of meta-analyses synthesized these findings. In our systematic literature review, we included 38 meta-analyses investigating 105 correlates of achievement, based on 3,330 effect sizes from almost 2 million students. We provide a list of the 105 variables, ordered by the effect size, and summary statistics for central research topics. The results highlight the close relation between social interaction in courses and achievement. Achievement is also strongly associated with the stimulation of meaningful learning by presenting information in a clear way, relating it to the students, and using conceptually demanding learning tasks. Instruction and communication technology has comparably weak effect sizes, which did not increase over time. Strong moderator effects are found for almost all instructional methods, indicating that how a method is implemented in detail strongly affects achievement. Teachers with high-achieving students invest time and effort in designing the microstructure of their courses, establish clear learning goals, and employ feedback practices. This emphasizes the importance of teacher training in higher education. Students with high achievement are characterized by high self-efficacy, high prior achievement and intelligence, conscientiousness, and the goal-directed use of learning strategies. Barring the paucity of controlled experiments and the lack of meta-analyses on recent educational innovations, the variables associated with achievement in higher education are generally well investigated and well understood. By using these findings, teachers, university administrators, and policymakers can increase the effectivity of higher education. Keywords: academic achieveme…
2017 meta-analysis on the factors that predict student achievement in higher education - teacher prep and organisation was third strongest effect size of 105 variables above intelligence & prior achievement, what you do matters.

Ava is obviously great but I don't want us to lose sight of the fact that #acdemicsky is clearly said as "Acdemics? 'kay"
I have the very #acdemicsky joy of having automated a weekly 75 minute bit of admin down to 10 minutes.
This joke got no reaction on the school run, I fully expect it to get no reaction from my students later and so #acdemicsky is my last hope.
#acdemicsky are there any university posts that are practitioner-teacher? In the sense that someone in the legal department of the uni also teaches a law course? Same with IP/social care/theology/IT/accounting.

#acdemicsky I love you but why do I have to scroll so far down to find people talking about students or teaching?
#acdemicsky - I've actually never used turnitin before and now need to use it for a coursework- can anyone point me in the direction of something around 45 minutes long on youtube that tells me everything?
Have been spending my Sunday ignoring work, making an apple pie for some visiting teenagers, reading a novel, and being happy 🩵 #acdemicsky
