RELEASED TODAY!
My book, Mixed Methods for Psychological Measurement, is finally out!
It presents theory and methods on how we can bring qualitative perspectives directly into measurement with applications for #CritQuant and #SituatedAssessment.

Again, I recommend reading more extensively to have a better grasp of important topics. Here’s another piece (not a meta-analysis in deference to your allergy). Flynn and others are explicit that the genetic link to IQ is tenuous: uva.theopenscholar.com/files…

Happy to share a new article in Journal of Educational Psychology w @kayleelitson! We show in two studies that extraneous cognitive load harms self-efficacy within-time & intrinsic load bolsters it across-time. Implications for measurement and affective outcomes of instruction.

Me trying to explain that simply because we have admitted too many doctoral students does not mean that we are justified in not paying a living wage…

Big meta-analytic findings!!! The GRE’s ability to predict graduate outcomes has decreased significantly over time as the diversity of graduate students has increased. Predictive value also decreases as samples include more People of Color. dx.doi.org/10.1080/00221546.…

“Authentic” as realistically simulated, or in actual practice? If the former, I say immediately with deepening complexity per 4C/ID. If the latter, I would argue that substantially later in preservice training is better as there are real students involved whose education matters.

Check out the Routledge Handbook for Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research! Lots of great chapters, including ours on phenomenography as a platform for #MMR. amazon.com/dp/1138361062/ref…

Research skills relate to one another in a hierarchical way. The most challenging ones can be #thresholdconcepts that are key mastery goals for a #PhD. Here’s a new #Analytics approach to detecting them. @BakerEDMLab doi.org/10.1007/s11251-022-0…

Happy to share a new study published in @JRSTpub with @jennifer_blaney and @kayleelitson! PhD student-faculty gender match doesnt impact student outcomes, but all students benefit more from women mentors suggesting gender inequity in mentoring skill/effort doi.org/10.1002/tea.21761

One day someone will be able to explain to me why people think results like this constitute affirmative evidence of “validity.” 😒
This is really smart and really important. Tenure wasnt intended to be a “research merit badge.” It was intended to be an institutional strategy to protect academic freedom and block political interference. De facto tenure offers that. aaup.org/sites/default/files…

In new @JDHEtweets issue, we show that gender and race gaps exist in publications rates and widen over time. Gaps not explained by background factors, socialization experiences, or family obligations. psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/…

A few key slides from today’s talk. Note that the GRE always predicted negligible variance in outcomes and has gotten worse over time (and diversification of the grad student population) in the context of large publication bias inflating the estimated GRE-outcome relationship.

Excited for tomorrow's talk presenting a new meta-analysis of the GRE's (in)ability to predict student outcomes at @ASHEoffice! Join @kayleelitson, Brinleigh Cahoon, and I to discuss implications of a changing population for the admissions utility of the GRE #gradschool #highered

We are presenting our meta-analysis at @ASHEoffice this year, looking at the GRE’s ability to predict a wide array of outcomes. It started off bad and got worse: Overall it predicts only 4% of variance, with an increasing number of studies finding *negative* predictions recently.
