Weekly Research Studies

I often write about research studies from various fields and how they can be applied to the classroom. I write individual posts about ones that I think are especially significant, and will continue to do so. However, so many studies are published that it’s hard to keep up. So I’ve started writing a “round-up” of some of them each week or every other week as a regular feature.

By the way, you might also be interested in MY BEST POSTS ON NEW RESEARCH STUDIES IN 2021 – PART TWO.

You can see all my “Best” lists related to education research here.

This is a good review of the AI grading study. It & the study itself misses 2 critical points, which I wrote about when it first came out earlier this year https://t.co/81gMrZlyLi https://t.co/8JUIAsDVNF pic.twitter.com/OjJeO8dQwZ

In a shock to no one at all (but great to have clear evidence!), when you eliminate one school day a week, kids end up less numerate and literate.https://t.co/hB50Q9VC2d pic.twitter.com/BVdtukqatx
