When students use generative AI to complete academic tasks, they may produce stronger-looking work while quietly skipping the harder processes that build understanding: monitoring, evaluating, questioning, and checking what they actually know. teachingprofessor.com/topics…

Sunday Scary’s: if you think you are the only one who has increased anxiety on Sunday evening you are not alone. It’s an interesting phenomenon, I’ve had it for decades and I explain to my medical students and graduate students and postdocs and residents many experience this. Now the @IHME_UW at the University of Washington has measured it and it’s off the charts mhstats.org/blog/global-anxi…

What do highly inclusive teachers actually do? Researchers followed six teachers for a full school year. Much of what they found is surprisingly familiar from research on simply good teaching. One of the more impressive studies I’ve read lately! wp.me/p2nWPo-6e7

From LSE How do students solve unfamiliar biology problems? This study found students who used core biological principles to guide their reasoning were more successful at developing mechanistic explanations. lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…

Research on AI and education is exploding. Stanford's repository has already passed 1,500 studies, and even the number of meta-analyses is becoming hard to keep up with. But are we really learning that much more? This blog has an AI problem. wp.me/p2nWPo-69H

This blog has an AI problem

Research on AI and education is exploding. But do we really learn more? On research quality, replication, meta-analyses and ageing evidence.

From grade 1 to grad school, academics have shifted to become mostly virtual. But with online assessments comes online proctoring. Psych emeritus Thomas Brothen created a scale to measure students’ experiences with online exam proctoring. buff.ly/0YE7Y3k

Police detectives are less accurate than college students at spotting false confessions. They're also more confident about their assessments of guilt. What a study reveals about truth, lies, and the criminal justice system. 🧵

Harvard just capped A grades at 20% to fight grade inflation. Is this policy measuring intelligence, or is it secretly doing the exact opposite? The hidden flaws behind this policy will surprise you. 🔗 Read the full blog post here: teachingprofessor.com/topics…

After more than 40 years in higher education, one professor revisited the advice he gave first-year students over three decades ago and discovered something remarkable: it still holds true today, even in the age of AI. Read the full blog: teachingprofessor.com/topics…

A famed police interrogation technique led to infamous false confessions in Nebraska. We still use it. Terrific piece by JJ Harder discussing the declining use of the Reid Technique everywhere (but not in Nebraska). @flatwaterfreep 1011now.com/2026/07/09/famed…

A body of research now suggests that the Reid Technique, first popularized when used in a 1955 Lincoln homicide investigation, can prompt false confessions from suspects.

The best way to teach complex subjects (like, say, statistics)? @SChewPsych teaches stats without sophisticated "stats packages." The goal: his students can develop a gritty sense of the specifics on their way to deeper understanding. Check out his thinking here: bit.ly/4uv1zIm

🎓 Are we teaching for understanding or just racing through the syllabus? Real teaching isn't about how many topics you cover. It's about what students actually retain, connect, and use. Depth beats coverage every time. 👉 teachingprofessor.com/topics…

Cramming works. That’s the problem. Students often see it as effective because it delivers short-term results. Enough to pass. Enough to move on. Read the full blog to rethink how students study and how you structure learning. teachingprofessor.com/topics…
