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.

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

New meta-analysis: when students struggle with work they use that as a cue that they are not learning…which in turn is associated with learning less. Another finding highlighting the importance of teaching students how to self-assess (open) https://t.co/8ygl5Qicw6 pic.twitter.com/JxxMRDzu8c
