A collaborative research project to investigate how educational interventions generalize across different classrooms

Joined November 2018
This was published today in Behavior Research Methods🎉 link.springer.com/article/10…
I'm really excited about this new paper with @BeckyAGilbert, @nikbpetrov, and Björn Luchterhandt. We describe an approach to automatically simulation the behavior of experiment participants and discuss how this tool can aid in the development of more robust experiments. 🧵

PLEASE RT! We are recruiting volunteer analysts to estimate the analytical robustness of social science by re-analyzing findings from 100 papers. We need hundreds of analysts who can become co-authors and get paid. More info here: osf.io/7snkz/ @OSFramework

Our first funding round of 2022 – expected to open in Feb - will focus on three key themes for teaching and learning, which our evidence reviews have identified as having gaps in the evidence base. 1/5

This summer, @IUPsychBrain's @BenMotz and @FyfeEmily introduced an ambitious new model for large-scale research on student learning. Read about their work with @manyclasses: go.iu.edu/4eIN

What do we really know about incorporating cognitive science into teaching practice? Our latest evidence review – ‘Cognitive science in the classroom’ – is available now: eef.li/cog-sci

In his latest blog, @IESResearch Director Mark Schneider asked for feedback about moving away from the term "conceptual replication." He even promised bonus points. Here's a 🧵 summary of my reply to go.usa.gov/xeDZB ...

So excited that our paper from @improvingpsych is now in press at Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Psychology 🥳 Go team @FORRTproject! psyarxiv.com/fgv79
At @improvingpsych in June, a team of @FORRTproject people got together to create a bank of lesson plans and activities to support educators embed open & reproducible science into teaching. We've written a paper about the process and share resources here: psyarxiv.com/fgv79

We are replicating social science experiments published in PNAS that used MTurk. We invite you to participate in decision markets to predict the outcomes. You'll get US$50 to invest and you will earn based on your prediction accuracy. Info and join: mtrp.info/markets.html

Happy to be a part of a study that really did try to reach across a variety of educational institutions and classes. Awesome job pulling it off, @manyclasses team!
The first ManyClasses study is released! Final registered report now in press at AMPPS and preprint posted at psyarxiv.com/4mvyh/ What's it all about? Hey, we're glad you asked… 1/19

I'll be sharing the results of the first @manyclasses study with @FyfeEmily at next week's Unizin Virtual Summit. It wouldn't have been possible without the support of @UnizinEd. Wed Apr 21st at 4pm Eastern. Registration is free but required: cvent.me/Qrroen

The data collection for our first project -MP1- on short-term memory is done. As part of MP1, we want to test evolutionary hypotheses in a modelling challenge (manyprimates.github.io/mp1/m…). To this end, we are looking for some missing social / ecological species level variables🧵

Medical researchers find cures by conducting many studies and failing fast. We need to do the same for education the74million.org/article/sch… h/t @KumarAGarg
