We've recently concluded a classroom study in Japan on our "Mindful Math" Tutor, an LLM-embedded ITS that uses mindful language and messages to guide students learn algebra while calming down their math anxiety. If interested in testing/using/collaborating let me know! tomonag.org/mindfulmath/

Our new piece in JLS! If you don't yet know much about our postdoc Echo's work, this is a great opportunity to learn about how awesome she is and her work is! 😊

Man Su (Echo) @echomansu.bsky.social · Sep 15

Just out in JLS! Our study shows how the Pattern, Agents, Interactions, Relations, and Causality (PAIR-C) framework, paired with agent-based simulations, boosts system thinking and reduces misconceptions in complex systems education. @tomonag.bsky.social

Applying the PAIR-C Framework to foster deep understanding and address misconceptions in science education

Understanding complex scientific phenomena, such as natural selection, requires engaging with emergent patterns and causal mechanisms, which are often misunderstood due to persistent misconceptions...

1/ I'm feeling real pain at the cuts to Indiana public universities, especially IU, especially cogsci. These are some of the biggest brains in cogsci and edupsych in the world, but why do *I* care? I'll tell you what they've done *for me, personally*. ↵
www.ipm.org/news-section...

Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees

Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.

Existing virtual agents are either teacher agents or "good" learner agents who follow your instruction. What if agents make mistakes? What about dishonest agents? Excited to share my student's @acm-idc.bsky.social work on codesigning trustworthy agents w/ Armenian(!) kids dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Come to my keynote tomorrow at the first official @queerinai.com workshop at #NAACL2025 to hear about how trans languaging is complex and cool, and how this makes it extra difficult to process computationally. I will have SO many juicy examples!

A core assumption of adaptive/personalized education is that different learners thrive under different instructional conditions. Leo Tetzlaff examined the expertise-reversal effect and found some support for this, but it's complicated (asymmetry, moderators) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our 5yo didn't like ice cream, bread, and yogurt in Japan at all 😅 I understand they are much better in DE

Back to work after 2 weeks of holidays and work trips in Japan 🇯🇵 - it was the first time since we moved to Germany. The kids enjoyed the "new" culture, but then we all got flu during the stay 🤒...
