How students use video controls—speed watching, rewinding, scrubbing—predicts STEM learning. For novices, these boost scores; for more knowledgeable folks, not so much!

Curious about how help-seeking behaviors relate to learning in an online learning environment? Then check out this open access (!) article authored by Chenyu Hou, featuring the outstanding mentoring of @shelbikuhlmann.bsky.social! doi.org/10.1007/s114...

In her thesis study, Noelle tested two, previously validated, cognitive load instruments under the revised cognitive load theory, which excludes germane load as distinct construct. And she found great psychometric evidence for modeling CLT across just the remaining two factors.

It has been a fantastic day watching my graduate student, Noelle Patterson, successfully defend her Master’s Thesis! She gave an excellent presentation & wrote an excellent document. I’m so grateful to have worked with her for my first 2 years as an Assistant Professor. We will miss her in the lab!

It was a great #AERA2025 bringing my students for the first time, presenting our work on SRL with videos, co-hosting the #MotSIG ECR social with the amazing @allisonzengilowski.bsky.social, & connecting with all my academic besties! 💙 Now I get to read in the mountains for a few days!

It’s presentation season for the KuhlMedia & Mind Lab! Undergraduate student, Tatum Terrell, presented our study on SRL with videos at the MidSouth Psychology Conference. Master’s student, Noelle Patterson, presented her thesis work on measuring cognitive load at the UofM student research forum.

Making your schedule for #AERA25!? If you’re an early career researcher in the Motivation in Education SIG, join us for our social on Wed 4/23 at 7:30.

There will be food, drinks, and Bocce ball! I gotta head start on honing my Bocce skills, so can’t wait to win 😂

#LatePost but myself and other psychology faculty joined the #MarchForScience in Nashville. It was a great collection of TN scientists sharing how science is for everyone!

ICE was just spotted on our campus. I’m horrified and really struggling to understand how I’m supposed to just keep working like everything is okay!?!?

Something about the KuhlMedia & Mind lab is that we are going to try and find the joy in any possible moment (even now 🙃). This week’s joy was getting a sign for our new lab space and hanging the beautiful wreath made by PhD student, Haley Siegfried (and her mom 🥲).

Beyoncé won the Grammy for best country album, becoming the first Black artist to achieve the feat. “I think sometimes ‘genre’ is a code word to keep us in our place as artists,” she said, “and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about.” nyti.ms/3PZvgOW

Keep sharing your JOY ✨

Keep celebrating your PhD defenses, job offers, and awards! Keep telling us ALL the good things.

Joy & Hope are what keep us going when things look bleak. They are also forms of resistance.

Something about me as an advisor is that you know I’m ‘bout to drop some mad wisdom if I say, “let me have an advisor moment.”

It's pagination day for our latest self-regulated learning paper using learning analytics! doi.org/10.1037/edu0... with @jeffgreene.bsky.social. @shelbikuhlmann.bsky.social and @kellyhogan.bsky.social and many more great colleagues!

Please share: I have a friend with access to food trucks in LA that is looking for locations to set them up this weekend that will be useful to the largest number of people and will allow a food truck to park there. Not looking for suggestions but actual contacts

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Looking for a leadership position in an energetic & productive School of Education where the faculty, staff, and students are working hard to make substantive, positive impacts in the community & the world? Then please consider applying for our Dean position!

I’ll update this thread when each article gets posted ⬇️

I’ve been thinking about what to call @bsky.app posts and hear me out…

Birds might tweet, but Butterflies FLITTER!

I’m flitting. I just flitted. I need to flit that.

Just throwing it out there.

Some more tweets I’d like to remember from Twitter… defending my dissertation during COVID and saying bye to the Mary Frances Early College of Education for the last time at @universityofga.bsky.social.

Not sure if I did this right or not, but here are scholars who study motivation in educational settings, mostly affiliated with @aera-motsig.bsky.social and @aeraedresearch.bsky.social
